True if children follows their parents footsteps the world would been a better place, many thing the children do today the parents never do them, its just our world. The way their train our parents is the different from how our parents train us today. internet has more influence to the children than parents. so its hard to copy your parents life styles. As for me, my parents hate gambling and they banned us from playing it. yet we still play because we have access to the internet and i can play without stepping outside. Parents really has no say on the impact of gambling on children, but they can reduce it by playing advisory role.
just being an advisor is not enough now, my neighbor has a small child who almost every day steals his parents' money just to deposit to play slots which can now be easily accessed, he even often plays sports parlays, for a child his age to become an active gambler is very unreasonable, I blame his parents who don't care about whatever their children do, being busy working is good but being firm with children is also very necessary, the child's performance at school will definitely be affected if he is active as a gambler.
