Funny how we didn't grow up seeing adults having sex openly, but there has been a high rate of sexual activities recently. The web introduces all forms of content that could arouse a person's interest to try out something. There exists lots of expensively made attractive ads online, to attract the interest of young people. Same way sexual contents are made available to increase young people's interest in sex. Which increased the high rate of sexual activities. With the high increase of gambling-related content online; streamers making up some crazy dramatic results. Young or growing people will develop a strong interest in gambling.
I think I have found about sex when I was in kindergarten. I did not know all the details and nuances, but knew some bad words and that man and woman must do something together. Kids told me that. They found about that from elder friends, brothers and sisters. I did not show off that knowledge, not in front of parents. But when older kids talk, I knew what they were talking about.
The same will be with gambling. Adults hide it from kids, but kids turns to be knowing what it is already from other kids. Believe me. And social media will only fasten time when they get familiar with gambling. I think there is no solution to that. You cant ban all the internet content and not let your kid be friend with other kids. Do what you want, but the information will leak anyway.
Fast enough, kids will quickly get acquainted with gambling information in the current internet lifestyle era. Nothing beats peer influence, in all contexts. I understand as kids we all know of some unfamiliar things; that no adult would believe a child is aware of, but things do change along the line. It's all attributed to peers sharing information. Growing kids can't change this fate, same as their parents. However such information can be knocked off when making decisions. Parents can train their kids to be good decision-makers. Knowing that society is filled with kids with lesser home training.
It's a matter of building the child's thoughts towards something more meaningful and also allowing him to hang out with kids on the same page of thoughts as him. However, internet usage can alter all these methods, because of the uncensored gambling ads published on every social media. The child unluckily can hit the follow button of a renowned gambling streamer, which can lead him astray to think of gambling and winning big. Kids also love money. Hence, it's all a risky thing around the globe that despite not gambling around them at home, kids will know of gambling. As said in my previous response, doing it in their presence only worsens the whole problem. It's better not to do it in their presence. Let the rest be left for them to decide.
