How threatening is gambling to the younger generation?

[milewilda]

I do not think there is anything wrong with giving a child a phone; what matters is how the child uses the phone. We live in an age where a child who is not digitally inclined will find it difficult to do things as he gets older. The majority of classes and exams, as well as job interviews, are conducted online.

With these changes, it is critical for a child to be able to use phones and computers as they grow. Parents are only responsible for preventing their children from visiting certain websites, watching videos that could corrupt them, or even watching advertisements that promote gambling. With such restrictions in place, a parent should not be concerned about their child's phone use.

You're absolutely right, Sheriff. The idea is that as parents we should constantly supervise our children in what they do on the devices. Sometimes it's difficult because they are very skilled. They now have very advanced minds. They can do things on the device without knowing how to read. They can get what they want if they look for it. So you also have to find a way to entertain them with other activities: music, sports, something to expend the energy they have. They are very active.

I agree with you because as parents it's our duty to make sure that our children's well far is our priority including what they learn, read and do online with their phones so parents should embeed the culture of always checking up on their children's device in a playful way that will not be made known to the knowledge of the child that you're trying to investing his browsing history

Parenting is crucial but its something that you will be doing as a parent on which this important on raising up our kids but we do know that parenting cant really be perfect because no matter how you do guide up your kids but still there are those young people do really go still that lost up their track because of the tons of things that affect them out that despite of having those good guidance but since they do still have that young mind and have that innocence then they do get easily affected or influenced by other external factors and thats why its not right that parents or guardians are the ones who do get the blame.

It's so scary how you now see a young boy that is supposed to be taking their education seriously are now after how to make money but I don't blame them, it's the parental mistakes and the society standards that makes them think like that, were money is now prioritize before any other things in the society, where literally everyone worship money in the society.

You can see that casino does warn people to gamble responsibly but trust me, people are gambling for money and not for any fun they do say. It's always about money and money, if it's not making money then it's not making sense.

Parenting should take the majority of the blame. Parenting entails a wide range of responsibilities, and if parents fail in any of them, it will affect child. Some parents will only give their children instructions on how to live their lives, without providing for the things that will make it easier for the child to follow the instructions strictly. For example, telling a child not to steal or gamble while failing to pay the child's bills and make provisions for his survival. Or telling the child about the value of education while failing to enroll the child in school.

When instruction is not supported by actions, as I have stated above, the child will do the opposite of what he has been instructed, and as a result, the child will enter society and become a negative influence on others. It should be noted that society is a product of its people, and thus the way people behave in that society gives the society meaning. Thus, parents must work hard to raise morally upright children, which is only possible if they take their responsibilities seriously.

Yes, but sometimes it's not that easy because children make up a lot, sometimes they watch a lot of YouTube, at least the 3-year-old girl watches a lot of videos on YouTube in many languages, and apparently she likes it because she repeats them, but it's difficult because they make up a lot, what the mother lends her is the Trelf to watch YouTube Kids, but in the same way you have to be very careful because there are videos that teach them inappropriate things, like not bathing, to be somewhat rude, you have to be very careful, also with advertising, casinos and all that, it's a care and responsibility.

If I talk about this, one of the two things that scares me the most is that when we give them phones from a young age, they will become addicted to it, like the addiction to YouTube videos that you mentioned already. And besides, I think if we give them phones, they may come across various unnecessary things like adult content, and currently there is a huge promotion of gambling sites on social media, so we need to protect them from these. Keep them within certain guidelines and then let them use digital devices.

the access to internet must be reduced since if not from their parents they most likely get these ideas from the internet and learn all kind of things there if the parents are not paying any attention towards their kids this will be the result and it won't paint them as good parents and worse their kid might continue on that path and might grow old to be an addict whether that is through gambling or something else

I agree that we should limit kids to online access since the net is often the source of information/misinformation that lead to gambling addiction to some teens but i don't know how we can limit them since accessing the net is already part of the lifestyle of the young generations so i think the best thing we could do is teach them the risks involving gambling.

Restriction is never the best option but the only thing I think can help is the implication of doing it without applying cautiousness and people today do not know all these things from origin because if they do they would definitely knows and possible avoid some uncalled addiction that has ravage over the young teens and so adults within the globe.

The way to prevent teen's from engaging in gambling activities is not to prevent the younger generation from using phone but to give them the needed guidelines and show them the good side of the internet as virtually everything that one is doing today is done on the internet so early exposure to the of our children's and young lads to computer and modern technology is of advantage to them as they will be in a better advantage of the opportunities that Life Will bring

All children can't behave the same way, don't expect showing love to children will make them act the way you expected them when you should have been strict with them. If you make restrictions to them, it doesn't mean you don't like them, you are actually trying to makes the best of them, you don't want to be running after them for doing what can harm them.

If you fr going to give them internet, makes their search bar accessible and search history so you can know everything they do, if need be that they don't need the browser, removes it from their phone or better still get them a phone that doesn't have the power to access strong websites.

You are right parenting is very crucial also very difficult. I have seen many parents who are very caring towards their children and take care of them most of the day, but later it is seen that due to their small mistake or carelessness, their children lost in the tracks. Especially, even if the parents are the guardians at home, when their children go somewhere else, the parents cannot do much. If those various things can be observed well and the responsibilities as a parent can be fulfilled, then it is comparatively better.

Taking care of children is something that has its own challenges, it looks easy but in reality it is not. we cannot say it very loudly and we cannot say it very softly, because it will also backfire.

Many children who are quiet become not as expected because they are raised very strictly, as well as raised very softly. we must be able to be in the middle and be able to adjust.

Yes, and it is very easy for things to get out of control quickly because something similar happens to some parents when they fall in love with their children and are not able to reprimand them, and that causes a big problem in every sense, because they no longer feel they have the authority to handle them but the children are the ones who think they are right, and that is very bad, at least one must be very radical in their parenting until the age of 18, at that age they are considered adults and since they are already men or women they must have the maturity to Assume the Consequences of their actions.

If an adult can be hard to manage, imagine how much more difficult it must be for kids who do not yet comprehend the facets of life. Regardless of how disciplined the parents are, raising children is never an easy task, as you said. Children of overly strict parents grow up to be too reserved, and they struggle even when they are expected to socialize and form relationships.

Since one cannot give what one does not have, some parents are also lacking in the necessary skills to raise a child with discipline and morals. Children of these parents may grow up to be disrespectful or deviants. So, as parents, we must strike a balance in order to raise children who can adapt well to society, and this is where parenting comes into play.

The younger generation are in serious danger, we live in an era or age where there's a "get rich quick syndrome". All the younger generation thinks of is how to make money, they explore all options ranging from internet fraud and other forms of organized crime.

When they fail to succeed they resort to gambling, they devote all their time, money and resources to it. They even go as far as using their school fees and money given to them in trust to gamble and this have left so many of them frustrated.
