Theoretically, it seems impossible to monitor children's behavior throughout childhood until they reach legal age, but we know that every person is subject to the influences around him. It would be better for that environment to remain free of people addicted to any habit.
Still as parents, we have t oget some of those moments that we get to monitor them secretly or publicly.
It's true that the main influence is with whom they are always with. And we have to protect our children from these people who are addicted in gambling because they might also be influenced by them.
Kids are easy to be influenced, having some simple talks and encouragement and they will believe quickly.
Since the study classifies the seriousness of gambling addiction at the same level as other types of addiction, such as alcohol or drugs, gambling has a different advantage, which is that it can be practiced in complete privacy. It is enough to have a phone connected to the Internet to play bets, whether you are at school or in the bathroom at home. This specificity is what makes it difficult to follow and direct.
