When someone first starts gambling he doesn't think that he will fall into a big addiction. Then he goes there to get an experience. And to get extra pleasure they start playing extra gambling and thus he falls into a big addiction. But it mostly occurs in young people. And if a child sees his parent gambling, he tends to gamble more . So parents should be careful first then their children will be careful
What did you mean the parents should be careful first? it mean the parents shouldn't gamble at all? gambling is supposed to be fun and not for chasing money. Children or young people need to be teach and learn about money management and both disadvantage and advantage about gambling. This will make them to know what's the reason to gamble and when it's a right time/situation to gamble.
It all depends on the player or the gambler because even though they play gambling with a minimum wage but their children saw these while they are growing they think it is just normal, that's why it is better to play gambling without your children seeing you because there's a chance they adopt this kind of habit at the same time if you are a responsible gambler like having a limit to yourself and just play gambling as satisfaction and fun and not kind of source of income. Once their children discover this kind of gambling activity ideal is to teach them that this is just a fun not part of the daily lives because not all the time gambling is the key to earn money.
