Keeping an eye on your child can lower their odds for gambling by young adulthood. Adolescents who had poor parental supervision at age 11, and which continued to decline through age 14, were significantly more likely than their peers to be problem gamblers between ages 16-22. This is the first study to examine the relationship between parental monitoring during early adolescence and gambling behaviors in late adolescence and young adulthood.
