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.
I agree with you about the education that must be done by parents. And indeed, education is not only in school, of course in the outside world they can also take lessons. By educating them properly it can help them in reaching a good future because of course if they are addicted to gambling it will destroy them themselves and can reach others.
Informal education facilitates fast learning, as it's known, everyone is a teacher, but learning swiftly requires a good tutor, one that can interact with his students, ward, acquittances, etc., with no signs of scaring them away. Family is an excellent place for informal education, but most parents scare their kids away. That's not helpful in teaching a child. As a kid, I enjoyed learning from people I love, regardless of if it's a family member of a formal teacher. In any learning process, the teacher and the student must be in a quality relationship. Gambling is a broad topic and needs to be thought often to growing kids who are developing interest in the game. It's not wrong, provided they are up to the required age for gambling in their country.
When a child is not informed about the necessity in gambling, he would find himself in a tough situation, during his gambling days. Some parents don't ask their kids questions on gambling. Hence, lots of growing kids who may have been exposed to gambling, don't receive adequate counselling on such mistake. When they grow up, they'll likely become gamblers. Building a strong, quality relationship with the growing child, dissolves his hearths and lets him open up on everything he knows on the subject. Because he wouldn't mind, since the teacher is a close friend.
Teaching our kids about the real world, including gambling, is essential. No nonsense - just be honest and engaged. I completely agree with your point about the importance of a good teacher-student relationship. This is essential in informal education contexts like the home. Unfortunately, too many parents fail. They either scare their kids away or dont discus life skills like gambling. This is a tremendous error!
