If as a parent you can protect your growing child from early exposure to negative vices such as gambling and drugs you will have less work to do when they become adults, this is because at an early stage, the child can not stand up for themselves allowing them to get exposed to thing's from the society is somewhat dangerous to their upbringing and this has become a big issue for the bad societal upbringing in the current generations, so clearly I agree with the fact that gambling and drugs are the two major negatives vises that could limit a child proper mental growth.

Well, you are absolutely right and I agree wit you, even the Bible made mention of this in the book of proverbs where it said we should train a child in the way that he or she should go, and he or she will never depart from it.

Most parents in the bid of allowing their children to enjoy the freedom they themselves did not enjoy in their own time often let the children go astray, children learn not just from their parents but also from other children in school, church and every where else the child goes, when a parent allow his or her child to associate with an already corrupt child, rest assured that child will eventually become corrupt too.
Many children who gamble today learn it from other children in schools, and they grow this habit into an addiction simply because the parents don't pay attention to notice and stop this while it still very early.
So, raising a child isn't just about given him or her the best of life in terms of finance, but also teaching them the right from wrong and to stay far away from wrong things.
