Most children will imitate what their parents do and if we don't want our children to imitate these gambling habits, of course we shouldn't gamble in front of them because if they imitate, of course this will cause us difficulties because they will imitate the habits. Gambling is of course very bad because they cannot differentiate between good things to do and how they can manage the gambling they do.

I agree with you. Gambling in front of children will make them try to imitate us. He will be curious and will try various kinds of gambling that we have played in front of the children. This is a big problem because children have the potential to become very addicted to gambling. We gamble because it is our choice and we already know and are ready for the risks. This will enable us to become wise gamblers. Children don't necessarily like gambling and they can't regulate their emotions when gambling like adults. Therefore try to show something positive in front of our children. I will even try to hide my gambling hobby in front of my children.

Gambling in front of our children is unrealistic and could affect the emotional growth of the child. Starting as a child to watch a father gamble is a threat to the child's future because he'd flashback to the days he watched his dad gamble. Hence, doing it wouldn't seem to him as a new thing. Making him gamble as a pro, despite being a newbie. Which attitude, could lead him to problem gambling as he never had prior training on ways to gamble responsibly. Parents who make the mistake of playing online games in their kid's presence are risking the future financial performance of the child.

Although it seems hard to always escape the presence of children whenever we gamble, there are other quiet moments when kids don't disturb their parents.

Such times could be utilized for gambling, and the gambler will also have a routine for gambling. Instead of gambling recklessly, not mind if his kids are presently watching or not. These things affect the society too, not just the kids at home. He could influence his friends in school, and the problem spread across a wider range of kids in the neighborhood. They could begin trying it out with their gadget during their free time. Parents should be careful with the behavior around kids, as they're fast learners, especially with their parents.
