True, though I could control my children from playing online games, he is tend to play on his grand father's mobile device from other places. This is really a challenging one. As said, instead of protecting or controlling them from playing, its always best to educate them why they should not play the game. That should be explained in a way they understand.
In terms of using the internet and playing games, children nowadays are extremely difficult to control. We can't really prevent them because we live in a technological age where almost everyone has access to the internet. What we can do now is talk to them and educate them about the risks of the internet. We also know that they are aware of betting in online games but aren't aware that it is gambling because they think it's just for fun so we should also educate them with this.
I agree we need to educate children about the risks of gambling, because banning them will only be useless. Parents should be able to educate
their children about gambling, so that children can realize that it is not yet time to access online gambling sites. Use good language with children,
don't force them, but more aware of the risks that will occur if children access gambling sites. I also did the same to my son and luckily my son
listened to what I had explained, parents must have good communication with their children.
If you will just tell them this and that but without complete explanation and understanding then they will only get interested and curious more than anything and the chance of sneaking to try playing and betting is indeed will happen.
|make them completely understand and knows the Good and Bad side of gambling so as they grow old they will keep that on mind and even if time comes they are already can make decision for themselves at least they knew to value the ethics of gambling and not just by winning but also to enjoy and self control.
