Equipping children with the knowledge and skills to make informed choices is a great thing done by parents to break the cycle of gambling and promote healthier family dynamics. Providing children with early education and guidance about gambling is crucial in preventing the perpetuation of harmful behaviors within the family. Parents are role model for their children who make them curious and inclined to follow suit, particularly as they enter adolescence.

Without proper guidance and education about the risks and consequences of gambling, children may be more susceptible to adopting similar behaviors. They would be perpetuating a cycle of gambling within the family. Parents need to educate them about the potential dangers of gambling and fostering critical thinking skills. Parents can empower their children to make informed decisions and resist the lure of gambling. Parents need to intervene early and provide guidance to mitigate the potential harm, because it can cause to both individuals and family dynamics. By instilling a strong understanding of the risks and consequences of gambling, parents can gradually diminish the cycle of gambling within the family.

Yes, as a parent you should do the best for your child by providing good and correct lessons and knowledge in everything so that your child gets used to adapting with good understanding and avoiding things that will make his life suffer in the future. However, as a parent, you must educate and explain to your child slowly but surely so that your child does not misperceive this understanding.
If it is related to gambling, it is true what you said that parents must invest from an early age in their children by providing examples of good behavior and good knowledge. If gambling is something that is very risky, it is very likely that people who enter the gambling area will not get pleasure but will have great regret.
Parents must take care of the child until the child reaches adulthood. Otherwise the child may go astray. Moreover, a underage child does not know which is the right way for him. He has to be taught and if there are any mistakes it is the responsibility of the parents to convey those mistakes. Of course, they should be maintained according to their age. If children are interested in gambling, they should be made aware from the beginning that it is not a way to make money. This is risky work. When a gambler can get an idea about risk and investment from his family, he can definitely make better decisions about gambling matters. That is why family education is of course very important. It may not work directly but may be a good solution for indirect damage.
