Do not gamble in front of children

[bitterguy28]

I always insisted on it that every family is unique and has its own problems, the most important thing is to provide the conditions for the child to make him or her feel protected and cherished.

it is inevitable that a family encounters some problems but it is not the children's business to be worried about that they should not be exposed to things only adults are supposed to be dealing with because unlike what adults think children are actually not that innocent and they understand a lot and remember things they see

Yes it is very important topic. Because some times We have been making this mistake subconsciously. Children's are valuable assets for any country even for a family. But when we made this mistake infront them, It's negative impact creating on them. So we have to more careful about gamble infront of children.

Because gambling is very dangerous habit. When a man addicted on gambling then he fell unconscious. So we should always careful about it.

There are kids that are actively involved in gambling now and it's quite disheartening because they didn't just pick up this habit by themselves they learnt it from someone or people. Exposing them to such lifestyle at a young age isn't really ideal, kids are our future and there are the leaders of tomorrow, they should be shielded from corruption and negative practices. Apart from gambling other things that has negative impacts shouldn't be done in front of them

Learning could neither because of self curiosity, influence by other people whether on their parents or with friends or strangers on which there are tons of possible ways or possibilities on which this will really be that causing up for you to get involved with it and since kids or young minds are really that prone to easily believe on things on which they can be able to encounter specially if curiosity kicks in then it will be that likely that they do make out such engagement because out of that interest on trying it out because of having that curiosity in mind. So as a parent then watching up our kids and make some educative approach towards gambling will be that ideal or recommended.

In addition to educative approach, parents could make conditions for their child, when gambling could bring no or little possible harm. What all parents are afraid of when they hear children and gambling? Or what is one of main problems of gambling? People get greedy while trying to earn and lose money. Make a situation or condition, when child is not dependable from money, and he would look on gambling from different perspective. Gambling will be entertainment and not a money source. And that is it, biggest problem is solved.

Gambling is a serious addiction especially those who get involved in this serious addiction cannot easily get rid of the addiction. There are many gamblers in our society who become addicted to gambling in front of small children, in this case the children are mentally attracted to those forbidden games. At some point, children imitate all these addictions in themselves in such a way that later they themselves become professional gamblers. Many school going boys in my area have become big gamblers especially those boys whose fathers have a history of gambling too. So for the time being Guardians should not be addicted to gambling in front of small children.

gambling in the front of children is very bad,because is not a good step for them to follow,it might leads them to steal to partake in it,and as well frustrate them.

"Because it is not a good step" is not a reason. You should give a more open and wide answer. Saying gambling is bad or gambling is good does not mean anything. You are also not sure in your prediction. It might lead to stealing, and it might not. Gambling might lead to stealing for example only if they get interested seriously in gambling and lose all the money. What if they give zero interest to it? Or win? Then your theory does not work. Moreover, if you have children, you must have done various things in front of them, and I am million percent sure that not everything you did, they followed or copied. Then how can you be sure that they will start gambling and stealing after seeing someone gamble?

Gambling is not a forbidden game, and it's not illegal.  It's a personal thing that people indulge themselves into for profit and loss. Gambling is addictive,  especially where one has won multiple times or lost many times,  because you may want to win. But playing it in front of children can make them not to be focus in life. Pursuing riches, wealth through gambling at early age, without learning how to work hard and become successful through their Profesional careers. It is dangerous to play it before children.  But it requires discipline on the part of guardians and parents to avoid playing it before their children.

Some parents lack this discipline and therefore gamble in front of their children. I have even seen a father check a betting ticket with his 15-year-old son, and he occasionally sends this boy to a betting shop to stake his game. This demonstrates how reckless some fathers can be.

The truth is that this boy will develop an interest in gambling as he becomes more familiar with the betting environment. Just a win for his father, and you will see the boy gambling because he will see betting as a lucrative activity, motivating him to gamble as well.

when gambling there should be a level of self control and caution that people should have and one of such precautions that is actually needed is not to gamble in front of your children or even in a place where children are located this is because children don't know anything yet and it's what they see their parents and elderly once doing that they follow and Copy while growing up

One thing we need to be take note is that children learn subconsciously so everything that is done before them is being registered on their subconscious mind and if it continues the probability of these little once displaying such characters is high so we should always take note of this fact and always control our gambling habits and don't even talk about gambling in front of children

This is indeed a face-palm moment of parenting, even if we can say that it looks like a father playing game, an innocent mind will ask questions related to this activity and thus will learn the how-tos if regularly expose to the gambling environment. I can still consider if the father is using the phone and just tapping to make bets as it looks like a game and a child will just taught it's the way it is. But still, adults should be mindful.

Online activities do not actually impact or influence children unless someone is watching explicit content in front of them, as they are more moved by what they hear and physical activities. Aside from casino games, someone could be betting on sports, and the kids would have no idea what it was.

There are some home activities that have an impact on children, but gambling on your phone in front of them has no effect.

You look on the situation from perspective that child get addicted and interested in everything what parents do. But that is not true. Children copy our behavior, that is a fact, but they dont it 100% copy/paste. I rarely see children being interested in cooking, cleaning, earning money at regular work, do repairs - all the activities adults do 24/7. Children might show a little interest, but their impatience and wish to learn and try new forces them to drop trying what parents do.

You know, it is hard to discuss this topic when posters here are divided into parents with young childre/parents with grown up children (or at least teeagers or those who about to turn 18/theorists. Theorists dominate in the topics like this. Love to operate with "if" or "might" words and use them as 100% probability of things to happen.

Yes, that's why we must keep them from what they can see and try as much as possible not to let them know, especially if they are not yet underage.

However, if they are ready to accept it, then we must also tell them what gambling is, but that doesn't mean we show them directly that we also gamble. But what I mean is they must know everything, because at their age which is already a teenager and has begun to know the outside life, then it can be more dangerous when they know from the outside while they don't know what the impact is like.

You're giving obvious examples that of course children don't actually wants. Who wants to go work at early age, no one, but there are some, from those unfortunate families, and they are different topic in here. We are talking of gambling games in mobiles phones that looks like just a normal phone games that even a normal child can learn and see it as normal games, can you understand that?

In reality, they will not understand the value of losing money. If they lose money, they will try again until they lost all, and then they can lie to someone they know. Sometimes, if some minors cannot control their addiction to gambling, they will not hesitate to commit crimes like theft. That is why no one should gamble In front of children. As of lately children are so clever that if they can somehow just see the name of a site, they can find that site easily.

Playing in front of the children at home is something that has to be done with the utmost responsibility. Things are different with children now. On the one hand, if they read, they have to be told the game and the dangers so that they become aware. Otherwise, sooner or later, they will be around someone, friends, people who don't care, because they will see and it will make them curious So, as parents, we currently have to speak to them and tell them many things , because now everything in the world is very lost.

Indeed, the thirst is like that, when children never see or know their parents playing gambling, then it should be safe. But if they see it once and know that their parents really enjoy it, then it will trigger them to be curious.

and moreover, currently, the problem is that there are many online gambling that do promotions and advertisements in various media, especially maybe there are also those on regular game sites, which are actually also dangerous for children. because we know that children are very easy to operate gadgets, they can learn very quickly. so, we still have to be vigilant and monitor the various actions of our children, it will be much more helpful to prevent it, although it may not be 100%.
