Prevention is highly recommended so that your child is not involved in gambling. However, digitalization has now penetrated the world of gambling.
Covering up the world of gambling also won't have a big impact, because out there children can get information about online gambling from their peers. If that's the case, giving advice and more on providing an understanding of how the world of gambling is, both the immediate benefits and the bad impacts of gambling is more necessary than just preventing gambling.
We have to be careful in preventing this because today's children don't like being forced to obey their parents' wishes. Let them understand what their parents want so that they can understand that their parents are trying to educate them well and so they can be better prepared for circumstances that have really changed.
However, we must try to instill awareness in our children not to get involved in gambling because some dangers can result in their lives being ruined. They can indeed get information about gambling from their friends, but most of them will only invite our children to gamble directly. If not accompanied by the correct information, they can get involved further in gambling without being able to quit gambling easily.
