Do not gamble in front of children

[pieppiep]

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.

Trying to educate children, or at least involve them in learning about things which can influence them is a part of work that must be done, especially in the setting full of stimuli. Basically, if children are to be taught the truth about the dangers and implications of behaviour they are being equipped with the means to accept the right thing. Educating them from childhood with relevant knowledge the shield themselves from worst circumstances befalls them. It also demonstrates that we are concerned about their future, and that they get adequate information to improve their decisions. If we support them and guide them in the right way we can in a way help build a good base for them to combat the odds of this world.

If it is a fact, now these things are worrying, but not as worrying as those who say that a boy can be a girl and many more things like that, what they do is confuse them, then these things I totally disagree , where the least danger that I see is that they can enter casinos to gamble, then I see this that way, the world is giving many freedoms without respecting the time of day which is where Children are commonly watching TV, watching the news, then if we have to show them how this is , how one should gamble and why they can't gamble, it is Better to educate them.

indeed, children are very inquisitive and eager to learn things, good and sometimes bad, so it is completely up to use to equip them with the knowledge that will instill good morals and behaviour in them. a lot of people often feel like the best thing for their children is to warn them against gambling, rather than educating them on the dangers of gambling addiction, especially for those youngsters who have already gained some exposure and insight about gambling.
because when we fil to educate them, they will definitely seek that knowledge elsewhere, and should they meet the wrong source that will give them the wrong knowledge about gambling, then they will definitely grow up with that misconception and likely live with it for the rest of their lives.

As a mother one thing I understood from children is that they don't just look at what are we doing but they are imitators and replicate whatever we are doing after we might have left them in an idle mood or in a lonely place they surely practice everything we are doing, that is why is not encouraging to gamble in the front of our children or having any deal in front them as they will easily pick it up from you. As a gambler it is advisable we don't disclosed any irrelevant secrete to them and remain hidden for their future sake.

I agree with you completely. Children consider their parents and other adults around them as their role models, they imitate them and try to replicate all they do in terms of dressing, hairstyle, choice of words and I think gambling is no exception.

So even if the adult is doing the wrong the thing to them it seems correct but while to the adults it's wrong that is why we  must learn to control our choice of words, action and whatever we do be it openly or secretly, because they are watching and could pick those things as option or what to keep saying/doing.
Children are easily prone to the wrong things from their parents, so it's good to avoid lot of things from them.

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.

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?

Ok, another obvious example. What adults gamble for, even though many lie about their primary goal? Money. Do children really need money right now? Parents buy them almost everything. Their needs are rather limited, as they dont think about future, savings and etc. All they need are new mobile, some fancy clothes, several gadgets like video console or tablet, maybe a new bike. I dont believe that a child will open gambling site and try to win money, instead of asking parents for all he wants.

Now move all that info into mobile gaming - do you really think that a child will gamble with real money and even if he does, he would do it for a long period? I think no. Firstly, most likely if he lose lets say 1/3 of his saving on gambling, he would drop it and skip to other activities, because - he would give a default child explanation as "boring" and hide fact of failing. Or he would gamble with play money and leave game after some time, because it is boring, primitive.

As a parent, I observe my child and other children. They dont usually put much effort. A fail on early start mostly forces them to quit. They are not constant, assiduous. As soon as something require making an effort, try, use knowledge, majority drop and move to million other activities.

Silly example, if a child plays a game, lets take dice, and losses 6/10 times or losses frequently, he will drop it. Take any non-gambling game. Uno for example. Beat child 3 times in a row and he will most likely never return to this game ever.

I am curious if you have children? Are you a theorist or have practice experience in raising children?

Some children consider their parents as their greatest teachers. Whatever their parents do seems to be the best for them. If they take a wrong decision, the children consider it right. That is why if any inappropriate topics are discussed in front of them, they can accept it positively. That is why I think it is better not to discuss any topic in front of children that can harm them.

Yes I agree with you mate, because parents are the primary teachers that will teach and provide discipline to their kids as we all know what kids see from their parents, they will bring it elsewhere no matter what though there are other few instances that kids will do the opposite but most of the time they inherit what they witness when they grow up that is why it is importnt to not show them things like gambling we educate them about it and what it might be the negative results when someone will get addicted into it because whetger we like it or not they will surely be influenced outside of their home so better to give them the best advices.

I agreed with you on this because, they felt their parents are the best sets of people who would give them the right advise or to whatever they said is extensively right and good. So, children are like that naturally and we need to be mindful with what we say, decisions we takes and the secret or open things we are doing so that they wouldn't hurt themselves by take such decisions over their lives and think is appropriate for them to do such.

Children considers what ever that there parents do to be right and learn from their parents so if any parent is gambling in front of their children they are teaching their children to gamble indirectly because children learn from what they are exposed to and as they grow older they start exhibiting such characters so parents who are into gambling should do everything possible for their children not to know that they are into gambling because it's a wrong presidence that parents that gamble in front of their children are setting because one day these children will grow up and take up those such characters

Though sometimes it's good to educate them to know the good and bad towards gambling and if we keep hiding ourselves one day you will see them praticalizing that thing either at your back or front because you usually put up such activities.
That's why it's important to educate them giving the basic knowledge to what they are doing is even the best. +1 for you

Re: Do not gamble in front of children

Don't do it especially when they're 7 years and below. What reason? These are the years where a child will learn the most, and the things that they will see in their first 7 years might be the one that will influence their attitude as they grow up.

If they see people quarreling constantly, he/she might become one in the future. Same with gambling. If they see you gambling multiple times, there's a chance that when they grow up, they might be one as well. Instead of letting them see you gambling (assuming that you're a gambler), let them do better things like other physical activities, walking around the house, etc.

In my opinion, one action that parents must take is not to gamble around their children because this will cause big problems if our children are addicted to gambling at an early age, they will have less time to study and their intentions to achieve their children's dreams will be dashed, who will lose?

Do you have any proof or confirmation that children get gambling addicted or big problems if they see adults gamble? Because I have opposite or neutral experience. I have played table games with money as a prize in front of children; I think my child has seen me gambling on a mobile. To my and your surprise, there were no wild reaction on that. Children at the house said «aaah, you are playing your adult games», and ran away to kids room to play toys. Sometimes I can even say that they are completely not interested in gambling, but are interested only in youtube bloggers.

I'm not sure about your environment, but where I live, the kids never pay attention to anything on your phone unless you're playing animated movies - which is why it's critical to get your children iPads and video games so they pay less attention to you whenever you're on your phone.

Where parents go wrong is when they take their children to a casino for gambling activities, which is where addiction usually begins.
