Well, it's true that environment that a child grow up can actually affect kids but that's if the parents permits it. Speaking of openness, I think there should be a 100% open door relationship between children and their parents, because if you are hiding from your kids things that they should know, they can possibly learn it from someone else in the neighborhood and they might end up to learn it in a negative way. It's better to educate kids about what they seek to know, then tell them the implications of doing it at a young age.

That is true. Compared with our childhood, current kids have way more sources of information. Parents hide that they gamble, while kids already know what gambling is and gamble secretly Cheesy

Everyone stay silent until bad things happen. I was always trying to say that educate and explain is better than bad or hide. Why everyone think, that if a kid saw or knows what is gambling, he will immediately run to gamble? And if he really did that? Is that really that bad if he has lost all of his money? Better he learns that bitter lesson now, than he is 25 and he looses salary, takes loan and goes into more problems.

I dont think that a kid will use gambling as a solution if he lack money for something or wants to become rich. He has parents after all, who must carry him on from 0 to 18 yo. But later give more of a support, than fully maintain his life. Well, a kid might also be simply stupid. Gamble all the money, steal, get involved into criminal and etc. But that is not because he saw his parents gamble. These are his genes Cheesy
