I dont know how it all happened that you gambled too at a young age, but honestly the responsibility is on you to break this trend of passing it on to your kids and I think you missed that opportunity of giving your daughter to venture into other interests...just hope she does teenage stuff and mingling with friends and not staying indoors looking at a screen and gambling as a way of fun for them.

If it's tech she loves, why not shift her interests into forex/crypto trading and nobody will be mad about it.

Yes, it is really important to keep our kids away from gambling habit. However I don't think it will bring anything good if you switch it up with crypto or forex trading. You know, short traders are nothing better than gambling addicts. They are another level of addicts cause they have to deal with constant highs, FOMO, financial loss.. etc. if the kids use excessive screen then it could disrupt sleep, delay language, and affect their behavior. So it is also not ideal to turn a girl's gaming habit into day trading or screen time. I prefer to nurture a variety of offline interests for my kids, also I will balance digital exposure wisely.
