Teen Gambling

Parenting

Tip:  Get control of a young adult’s access to money if there are signs of problem gambling

Make sure that the young person, if you’re the parent, can’t get at your money somehow, like with the use of a credit card, because ... obviously one’s ability to gamble is limited by one’s access to money.

So a lot of young people ... if they’re still living with their parents ... they have an inherent limitation there ... .

The best thing is not to get in trouble to begin with.
