There wasn't as much entertainment in my childhood as there is today, so we played card games. At first we played without using money, but when we got older and had the opportunity to have our own pocket money we started playing card games for money. Whether it is good or bad everyone decides for himself, but I think that from that moment I became a gambler and playing without money stopped bringing so much emotion as playing with money. In my opinion, teaching children to gamble is not the best idea, because in any case they will come to the fact that they will play for money. I think it is better to teach children how to multiply money and that you should strive to make your money work for you, not you work for money.

If we would get addicted to what we were doing in childhood, then the world would consist from firefighters, astronauts, bandits, doctors and sellers behind the cashdesk. I was not spoiled by variety of games, toys and entertainment in my childhood either. As well as I played cards, rock-paper-scissors and other games, and from time to time used money to bet. We also had football tournament with money prize hood vs hood. Where teams consist of 5-15 yo kids. I even used to search and collect bottles, to exchange them for money, bought chewing gums and gambled with it (to win more gums and get stickers from it). I was doing the same everything other kids did that time. Thus, somehow there is no big passion to gambling today. I am definitely not interested to make money with.

Again, gambled a lot (if this can be called gambling) when was a kid, low interesting to gambling today. Rather strange, isnt it? Because almost everyone among 50 pages would say that my parents were bad at parenting, and I would have grown into gambling junkie.

I think it's not just about parenting. It's about attitude to finances, which is formed not only by parents, but throughout our lives. In my childhood my parents tried to limit me from gambling for money, but as we can see after a certain time it did not help much.

Also a lot depends on responsibility, which with each passing year becomes more and more. At least if earlier I could spend half of my salary on gambling, now I categorically will not do it.

Children or kids want to try gambling once they will that thier parents are involve with it or else siblings or neighbors but we parents, we are the guidance so we need to focus our attention to them if they want to gamble in thier young age then we must not let it cause one thing for sure there's a chance that it will lead into addiction cause some young men or woman can not control themselves and they will let themselves involve in gambling and have a big chance that they will become an addict and ones it will happen then that's is a bad thing.
