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.
I still remember and believe that the fruit that falls will not be far from the tree, as well as the activities of a father who gambles even though it is not known to his child but basically he has inherited that trait in the mind of a child. There is always a cause and effect of someone's actions in the past that will apply to their child in the future. But we must remain optimistic and change the system of how we educate our children and hope that our efforts to keep our children away are truly successful. There is always hope behind uncertainty.
