If gambling is bad - why you gamble? Why you show bad example for everyone around you?  Grin
We really shouldn't set an example for anyone around us, especially children, because a child will quickly learn what he sees, let alone played by his own parents, so he will think that it is a fun game and will try the game outside without his parents knowing because The child will store the memory in his memory. I think it is a bad example that should not be shown to anyone so it is best to never gamble in front of children.

Parents are one of the people who have a big influence on a child and of course parents are also a child's main concern in any case because it is clear that parents always direct and teach their children in any case, especially nature and behavior, and if a child sees his parents involved in gambling activities then obviously a child will at least question with a high level of curiosity about what exactly his parents are doing, Even though it is unlikely for them to directly plunge and get involved, if their parents always show their gambling activities, whether intentionally or not, it will still trigger children's curiosity to be higher and there is a high possibility that there is potential for them to do the same thing, or the intention is to follow what their parents do.

A child will not immediately know that it is gambling but what comes to their mind is "it looks like fun", as we know that lately children are more often playing cell phones connected to the internet network, I used to see them watching cartoon videos and on the other hand online gambling promotions are increasingly circulating on several social media and obviously the chances are getting greater for a child to enter and get involved in one of the online casinos they find when playing cell phones. The point is that parents must be able to limit their activities, some are allowed to be shown and some must be kept out of the reach of children.
