As a matter of fact, when an adult can't control their emotions when they are gambling, so how can we expect children to be so responsible that they won't be influenced by the negative vibes of gambling whether it be the use of excessive funds or keep on gambling to chase loses etc. To be honest, children can get the negative effects of gambling much more quickly as compared to adults.
If an adult people can't control their emotions when they are gambling, that can happens to them when they are with their children. They can lose control and do something that can harm their children as many bad cases already happens to children. We as their parents must take care of our children and teach them to be responsible to what they do so they will not gets any bad effects to their life.
Children are smart today because they can search for what they wants to knows so we must explain and teach them carefully and not trying to playing gambling in front of them. Children now can grow without their parents knows so we must besides them often so we can knows what happens to them.
When you are living at home with kids living with you, there is no way you can hide your gambling activities and kids will usually follow you or at least be curious to know where you are spending your time. Unless kids are very small, then it is a separate thing but with the kids of age 5 and above, its very hard to gamble without them being aware of your activities.
But we can playing gambling in other places without our children knows what we will do. They will not asking or curious if we can explain that we needs to do something that they should not knows. If they are below 5 years, we can with them and accompany them when they playing their games. But we can explain that adult people have many things to do and not just besides them because we needs to works for them.
If we can explain them until they understand, they will not follow us when we do many things. We can hide our gambling activities from them so they will knows what we do in our spare time when we don't besides them. They will not asking us what we do if we can tells them with right and they will not curious with us too.
