If parents find out that their child has started gambling, they must provide more understanding and a different approach. Their children must be guided to stop gambling before it is too late and their parents cannot save their lives.

True. There's a money involved in gambling so even our kid says they're just playing for fun, we can't help but to worry. It's just right to explain and if possible make them stop playing since gambling is not suited for students who are still depending on their parents.

If our child says he is only playing for fun, we must immediately warn him and invite him to talk to find out why they are gambling. They can have fun doing other things with their friends instead of gambling. We are only worried if they lose control of themselves when gambling, which will make them waste their money. Teenagers like that are prone to losing self-control, which can have a bad impact on them.

With the approach parents take, they can slowly make their children aware that what they do is not good for their mental health. The presence of his parents in guiding him out of gambling can help him to leave gambling and never gamble again.

For now, he need to stop his gambling activity and focus on his studies. But it doesn't mean he can't gamble in the future anymore. Because once he's settled, earning a stable income and already know what's right or wrong, he can decide for himself. In time, he will understand his mother if he already have a family and became a parent.

We are the ones who must be able to persuade him to stop his gambling activities before it is too late. And we also have to give them an understanding of what impact playing gambling, even losing self-control, has on them and what could happen in the future. And even though he is established and knows what is right or wrong, we still need to monitor him because he is our child and we don't want to see our child get into trouble. Don't let his gambling habit give him problems when he has a family and becomes a parent later. That's why we as parents must be able to look after him well and provide good understanding.
