You're absolutely right about the importance of parental education in guiding children through life's challenges. It's essential to remember that while any addiction can be harmful, gambling itself is intended to be a source of pleasure and entertainment. By fostering a healthy understanding and approach to gambling as to all leisure activities parents can help their children enjoy these activities responsibly and safely.

You need to understand that when they are with their friends, you can no longer see what they're doing unless you have advised them not to do so because that's the important aspect of parenting when you give them important advice. When they are with those who gamble, they also become gamblers no matter how long it takes when they are with those people. Even when playing sports games like how we used to play basketball, they should not engage in betting if you don't want them to get used to it because that's when the problem starts. After all, it opens their craving for other betting games as well.

Indeed, once our children are out of our sight, we can't control their every action, but the key lies in ensuring they have a well rounded understanding of the issues at hand. This empowers them to form their own opinions and make informed decisions when faced with peer pressure.
For instance, if a child comprehends the potential harms of drugs, they're more likely to resist when friends encourage them to participate.
The same logic applies to other temptations like cigarettes, alcohol and gambling.
Children might experiment out of curiosity, but with a strong foundational knowledge, they are less likely to continue harmful behaviors, choosing instead to protect their health and well being.

Yes, parents education is necessary for their children so that they are not involved in things that will harm them. If parents can be friends and parents, their children will not hide what they do because they already trust their parents. They also won't want to try gambling because they already understand the impact of gambling on them.

There are many other activities that children can do besides gambling, especially using their devices more often than doing physical activities. We have seen that children in this era prefer to use their devices rather than do physical activities, and this is what causes a lack of socialization with each other.

Absolutely, I agree with you. It's crucial for parents to balance being an authority figure and a trusted ally to their children. However, it's important to maintain moderation in all things, including our approach to guiding them. Gambling can indeed serve as a form of social entertainment, but you also can essential to introduce children to a variety of activities that enrich their lives and expand their horizons.
