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.
Maybe it means that parents are allowed to gamble with good self-control so that large amounts of money are not lost. And if parents want to gamble, they should hide it and not gamble in front of their children so that the children will not think that gambling is okay. Parents must tell their children that gambling is not good; if the parents do not gamble, the children will not try to gamble either. But I think even though children or teenagers are taught about money management, losses and gains, they are still unstable so if they lose many times, their young blood will be turbulent and make them want to recover their losses.
