This is definitely a pretty big danger for a young boy or girl with a weak mind. Most likely, wise parents, even if they are very busy at work, can control this issue by simply asking the teenager at some point what he knows about gambling. Or even playing a little in his presence. And accordingly, from the answers of such a teenager, you can understand how involved he can be in gambling, which he deliberately hides from his parents.
This is, of course, a provocation in a sense, but it is fair, especially if there is a danger of the teenager developing gambling addiction in the future. Overcoming addiction in any case will be an order of magnitude more difficult than preventing its occurrence.

Yeah, there are several ways that parents can actually monitor and observe their children’s gambling habits. Children are very inquisitive and quite sensitive too. So when a parent eventually observes that their kids are into gambling, some parents would feel like the best solution would be to completely dismiss their kids from such activity, which isn’t always possible, it will only make them stop doing it in their presence but secretly, they’d still be doing, which is even more dangerous. So rather than trying to stop them, it’s important to rather educate them on the dangers of gambling, as well as the risks associated, as well as how gambling should be initially approached, this way, they could avoid having the general misconception of gambling that’s mostly destroying most gamblers today.

I agree with you, as a parent, Trying to force children to stop doing something, it will most likely have a more negative impact on them, Because later they will gamble secretly from you, which can take a more dangerous form at some point.
Because as a result they will be more careful and will keep their every move secret from you, so you will not know about their activities, and they will gradually sink into a deep addiction to gambling, but you will not be able to do anything then.
That is why if children start gambling, then do not force them, but behave in a friendly manner, explain the harmful effects of gambling. They should be explained in a way that they themselves know about the harm of gambling, take an educational approach so that the child can distinguish between right and wrong, And quit gambling on their own.
