The truth is  I don't know what to call you right now, because I might call you name that may look offensive to you, but that's by the way. Talking about your daughter, the gambling habit she have developed at her tender age  is an inappropriate behaviour, which I don't do away with such behaviour, normally gambling is not a bad thing, but starting to gambler at a tender age when the person is not up to 18 make the person look indecent, especially when the person is a female. In my country if a female child demonstrate this kind of inappropriate behaviour she will automatically get tag of an indecent  person, and no man will take her serious when it comes to relationship and so on.

Parenting comes with different choices and responsibilitie that often generates guilt.As a parent,you can simply set limits for your child and still give permission for the child to absorb interest over things you condone in your parenting plan/approach.He let her gamble;parents should ensure to lead by example because not all fun is appropriate for children.
Well, on no account should parents allow their underaged children gamble, this is not a matter of allowing a child absorb interest in anything, but a matter of teaching them to know that there is a time and age for everything.

If your child is of age, like if he or she has become an adult, you as a parent can not utterly stop him or her from gambling, and he or she does not need your permission to gamble so long as he or she is getting his or her own money, as a parent, what you can do is advice, advice the son or daughter on the dos and don'ts, let them in on the dangers that comes with excessive gambling and so on, after all, gambling isn't a bad thing to engage oneself in but it's always better to do it when one is of the right age with a fully developed brains.
Just like on what you have said that if  the age is that indeed low on that specific legal or mature age then it would be just that right for us parent to teach them up or would be having that guidance but since we are talking 17 years old of age on here then it is just that close to 18 to the next on which there might be some sort of reconsiderations but still as a parent then you would be that still needing up to give them guidance.
Seeing on OP that he's that a bit proud of because he had some experiences in the past that what makes him that a better risk taker and some sort of positive effect that gambling give into him, but we do know that not all would be ending up on having on the same mentality when it comes into this manner on which there are those who do able to recover but there are ones who do end up on messing up their entire life because of gambling addiction and this is somewhat we do need up to consider.
