Effects of Gambling in Front of Our Children, What Are We Teaching Them?

[CryptSafe]

Parents or adults who gamble in front of their children lack morals and are valueless guardians. If a guardian had even the slightest sense of values and thought about the future generation, they would never gamble in front of their children.
If a guardian encourages a child to participate in gambling instead of advising them, then that guardian is really like a brainless garbage. All these guardians will not be of any use to the future generations, but rather they will create a harmful situation for the future generations.

Lol, don't take it personal, I won't say or agree with you that parents that gamble in ront of their kids lack moral and are valueless. I don't agree because parents like that could still have better morals that they can teach their kids to become better, it's not just the gambling that is the worst thing kids can learn, their are even other bad habits too that can cause the future issues when you exposed them to those habits too. Some parents can gambling in the presence of their kids but will make sure to be close friends to those kids so that they can always come to them for consultation before doing something. So, even if the kids wants to try gambling, they will have to ask their parents first.

At first, it is wrong to even gamble in the presence of kids because whatever you do in their presence is what they learn because they see you doing it, and as such, they too feel it is alright to get involved in, and that is how they begin. But as parents, it is advisable that you caution them not to get involved in it at an early age, so it does not get into them.

Being a good friend to your kids, too, could help because you could still talk to them to make sure they do not get into trouble, and also, they could feel free and secure to always tell you their activities, which would always put you in the know of them in whatever they do.

I agree, at the same time being strict to them. So, the openness that you have with them is going to make them comfortable telling them their problems and what they are dealing with.

Just don't do unnecessary things in front of them because that's going to make things worse if you want to be friendly with them.

The security that they feel when you're with them tells a lot as a parent and they won't find it from someone else.

The warmth in which we open will make our children know that they are important, thus they will not be afraid of letting us know their daily concerns. We should learn that it is a good parental responsibility to ensure that they have a sense of security and a leader is one who is memorable because he ensures this sense of security is provided. The avoidance of irrelevant behaviours before them will avoid the possible conflicts that might ruin our trust that they have taken us so long to establish. It is this warmth that we are providing them with a healthy environment with which to grow mentally and build their future.

Of course, children feel more secure with their parents than with any other person. In fact, their parents are the first protectors they have had before any other, so they would feel secure around them, and also, their parents should make themselves accessable by their children so that they can open up to them freely, as that would help them keep track of their activities and be able to have clues of what their children are up to per time. It keeps them ahead of time to avert unforseen event or occurrences in time.

The assurance in having someone around at all times offers an immense feeling of security to the psychological development of a child in an environment characterised by insecurities. Transparency between a child and his parents enables less pressure on privacy by checking on what they do on a day to day basis. With good proximity, which has been established we can be able to respond faster to forestall an adverse occurrence that may take place unpredictably. It is important to make sure that all the emotional necessities are satisfied at home in order to preserve the harmony and well being in the family.

We as parents should be their leader and they have to see that from us. Because if we're not going to lead them properly, there will be some other friends or strangers that will lead them.

That's why it's important that we always talk to them and give guidance on which are important things they have to remember.

But that trust is gone if they have a broken relationship and they don't come along often.

We need to show them the perfect example and that should be us so that they're going to look unto us with utmost respect.

I agree with what you're saying, dude, because instead of not showing them what gambling looks like, it's better to explain it properly in a simple way that they can understand so that they can better understand that these things are something they should avoid when they're still underage.

Just explain the pros and cons of gambling correctly; this way they can see and think, "This is what my parents explained to me about gambling: that it's bad for children to do it." Although parents have their own ways of explaining it to their children.

Children should not be taught about gambling and when they mistakenly see you gambling, all they can do is to ask you some questions about what you are doing since they have no idea. We should make it mandatory as parents to make sure that our children are not exposed to gambling because of the effect it could pose in their lives in the future.

A situation doesn't need them to be taught. They're good observants and they're curious with things. So if you as a parent isn't careful, and they're seeing what you do with your PC or smartphone and that's gambling, they'll figure it out on what you're doing and that's why even if you're not teaching them. It's likely that they're learning silently and you will only know it once they show and tell you that they do. That is why it's not always about willingness to teach them but their curiosity to learn what they see to you as parents.

If gambling becomes a topic in a household, the parents or guardians need to do more than just gambling openly for their children to see without giving them the right education and orientation about gambling. It becomes a huge problem when a child sees their parents indulge in it but left with no proper orientation, they might join people they meet outside to indulge in it. For someone who gambles, they need to come clean to their children about the good and the bad sides of gambling and should also do well to restrict them from gambling till they're above legal age and can make well-informed decisions.

If we are gambling in front of them, then it could be same scenario when they grow up and become a parent to their kids, they will also gamble in front of their kids, and those kids will just repeat doing so. That's why as early as now, we should learn to correct our mistake and not gamble in front of them because that will only lead having a wrong mindset that they will carry until they'll be adults.

Gamble on your own safe place or on your private room where you are not visible from their eyes. Gambling is never bad, as long as you learn to manage it the responsible way.

Parents are responsible for training their children in an upright manner,gambling in front of your children isn’t a good example to show them.Children literally consider everything they find their parents doing as something they could emulate,so as a parent if you’re the type that places bets in the presence of your children,it shouldn’t be surprising to you when they start placing their own bets in your absence.Although,most children may know it is legally wrong for under age to participate in gambling,but they have this confidence of doing it because their parents confidently do it in their presence.

It's difficult to hide anything from children, and it's nearly impossible to hide their parents' gambling. But sex and erotica are just as often hidden from children, even though they eventually find out. Learning about gambling isn't prohibited, but children are prohibited from gambling. This is a reasonable law, as children aren't entirely rational and easily become addicted to gambling. In fact, even many adults aren't much different from children in this regard and are also prone to gambling addiction.

children are inquiring natures, and very observant, so are apt to learn much by what they watch, than by what is taught them. Although the parents may never compare gambling to them, they may get curious about what is going on when they see it on a phone or a computer time and again. In the days, they can start believing that gambling is a healthy or acceptable entertainment or money making activity. That is why parents must take their behaviors into consideration when being around kids. The influence may be unspoken and strong at times. It is important to lead by example, as children are likely to imitate the habits and behavior they habitually practice by their parents.

But do we really need to even expose the children to see gambling before we can teach them the basic truths and lessons about gambling? I will say hell no to such answer because you truly don't have to gamble in front of your child because you want them to learn that gambling is bad or not good for their mental health.

What I think you have done instead is teaching the child the basic knowledge of gambling and children being who they are will always want to experiment whatever they've seen visually due to their high level of curiosity to new knowledge. The implications here is you might actually be teaching the child how to gamble with keen interest rather than teaching them the dangers of gambling.

I believe adults shouldn't scare children with the prospect of military barracks or other harsh punishments. 🙋

If children are actively discouraged from something, they may want to try it and incorporate it into their lives. There's a biblical saying: "Forbidden fruit is sweet."

In my opinion, children need to be taught about gambling. This should be done through play. For example, you could play the French Musketeers with children and teach them about dice. At the same time, you need to explain to children that gambling doesn't bring long-term income (money). They need to be told that the Musketeers earned their money by performing good and noble deeds.

Children learn new things through play. In my opinion, this should be taken into account and utilized. 🧏

I didn't in anyway say that they should gamble in front of their children like it's the new norm. As a matter of fact, that's the worse way to expose children from gambling if the exposure is coming from someone they trust like their parents, they're likely to think it's okay and cool to gamble without idea of what it means to be a gambler.

That's why I said this:

someone who gambles, they need to come clean to their children about the good and the bad sides of gambling and should also do well to restrict them from gambling till they're above legal age and can make well-informed decisions.

Children will learn about gambling one way or another but it's always best if it comes from their parents that would give them proper education about gambling. If they learn it from outsiders or friends, it does more harm than good in the long run because it might be too late to correct them.

I believe the concept being discussed is to actually make them not feel relaxed and make them feel comfortable with the whole act but the whole has become so advanced that even if they don't see or get that normalization of gambling from their parents the society at large outside will actually be the means to this happening.

Children are actually quite quick at learning, especially when it comes to things that have negative effects, they are very quick at learning those.
And gambling is not left behind especially when they see your reaction after a winning bet, it makes them get more curious and want to test stuffs out, it's a good thing he even asked, some wouldn't ask they'll just go and start without no one's permission.

Children learn at very fast rates such that we as representatives of adults, will keep a sharp eye on all of our actions performed in the presence of children. We know how much their yet innocent minds are at first inflamed by terms of pleasure in anticipating an immediate gratification. The fact that children are willing to ask questions is a golden chance that we can use to explain to them the real danger of any form of speculative action. By communicating honestly with them, we will steer them towards being good in life.
