Hey gamblers' community, hope you're all doing great.
I wanted to convey my message here that gambling in front of our kids may put adverse effects on their growing minds and they may also take the wrong path and start gambling (either by asking you personally for funds or by stealing it in order to fulfill their gambling cravings).

Kids always idealized their parents. They start observing and learning things at a very young age. If you are doing something wrong in front of them, they might consider it a normal thing. They might also develop gambling-related stress and financial mismanagement. A person must be of utmost caution in what they say and what they do in the presence of kids.
If a person still wanted to gamble, at least he should do it in a controlled environment, away from the children.
That's why it's better not to show it to children, because when children see something new in their eyes, curiosity will immediately exist to find out about it, and they won't realize it until they get what they want. So it's really right not to show it only in gambling.

This can be avoided if we properly educate our children about gambling and how it will impact their lives. We should try to give them awareness about responsible behaviour and the importance of informed choices.
