As a parent, I think everyone does that, but it can't be done forever because they will also know it themselves from the outside environment or from their friends.
I myself see that in my environment, parents don't gamble much, maybe it can be said that only a small number of parents gamble. However, when looking at the age of teenagers, almost all of them gamble. So is this because they see their parents gambling? Of course not, but they know gambling from the outside environment or from friends who already know gambling.

I see around me that teenage boys and girls are also more addicted to gambling. Especially those aged 14-28 are more addicted to gambling. It is natural for today's children to know about gambling. Because gambling ads are constantly being shown in various social media or sports. So there is no way to keep today's children away from it. If we want to keep our children away from gambling, we have to turn off the internet connection, this is not possible.

However, we should make our children aware of gambling. Tell them about its bad sides. I personally think that teenagers should not gamble. If we gamble, we should definitely spend our own money. Teenagers cannot control their emotions. As a result, along with gambling, they are more likely to get involved in various crimes. They can become addicted to theft, robbery and even drugs. That is why we should make our children aware of all kinds of addictions including gambling and tell them about its bad sides.
