i dont think any gambler will intentionally want their kid to see them doing it. kids learn so fast and when they see their parent doing it they also want to try. its good to take caution and be very careful sometimes these kids might be watching their parents without them knowing and then they go to start practising behind them. one thing about children is that the like to practise what they see and if they see it constantly, it gives them confidence to want to try it.
I agree with you, how bad attitude or habit from parent they won't their children allow with his bad thing, all parent want give the best for their children but still not find right way how to guide or show them. Need private with gambling from our children and as soon possible we have clear all mobile phone history when our children use the same mobile phone or computer. Never give opportunity or make our children know with gambling and we are as parent must teach them which one better or not, if parent did bad in front of their children actually difficult when advice them for making some thing well later.
It depends on the situation, there are some parents who make their children to follow their steps. If the parents do gamble, they will teach their kids to do gambling. But yes, I agree that this is not approriate thing to do and parents should really not teach gambling to their kids. There's a right time for the kids to know about gambling.
No parent wants their child to fall into bad habits. But today's kids are somewhat advanced level so they can easily master a thing. And where they see their parents doing something, they follow it and learn it faster. And now era is such that everyone thinks of gambling as a common thing and everywhere everyone plays gambling and that's why gambling is getting more and more popular day by day. But of course everyone should at least hide them from their little kids. This will make the future of their children more better
