Avoiding gambling in front of my children or any other teenagers is the most crucial rule I follow. if kids witness us gambling, they can be motivated to do the same. In my opinion. due to their youth and immaturity, it could negatively affect their future. Kids always tends to follow their elders. So I don't want my kids to catch up my bad habits.
Another post without any proof. Kid saw you eat broccoli, based on you logic, the kid will also taste and eat it. And become super healthy, as he is eating vegetables of vitamins. But in reality, kid wont eat it, and would rather eat fries or pasta.
Without proof? how can someone give you a proof like this? what @goxcraft meant based on his example is an analogy. And to tell you, there is type of learning called observational learning or social learning. Your kid won't be able to open the door if he didn't see you open that door.
Yes, proof. I need a proof that kid after watching parents gambling will become addicted to gambling. And most likely kids life is going to be ruined. That is the argument, that is what people on numerous pages here mention as a reason why nobody should gamble in front of them.
I have opposite vision. I am not 100% sure that kid will be addicted. I am not even sure he will be interested in gambling. So far nobody cant say nothing except “watch=addicted”, without giving any explanation. Just such statement.
“Observation learning and example with door. Peoples opinion here - kid see parents open door, try to do it himself, learns how to do that, becomes addicted to opening doors. Hope you understand my logic. That kids not always get addicted to what they see.
