Great post!
If you ask me then this information should have been common knowledge.
Like we can learn that since kindergarten.
They should have learned kids how to live with the reward system, instead of setting up a system to activate the reward system.
That is basically school.
But look now, many grown ups are addicted to anything.
And it's almost impossible to explain them who they got addicted.
I got a brother who gambled since he was young, it when from bad to worse and he never stopped.
When i talk about it with him, then he looks at me, like i am talking nonsense.
This is a huge problem, because if they don't understand how the system work.
Then it's almost impossible to recover from the addiction.
It's easier to learn kids the right path, then to heal broken adults.
That's almost mission impossible.
Yes i think teaching children about gambling is a good idea, considering kids are picking up on sports betting and online casinos on their phones from a very young age
Yes indeed, but i thought more about the information of how to get addicted to anything. Because the chemical process of all addictions and run by the reward system. If they taught children how to understand and control it, then they will master that skill.
But now many grown up don't know how to return from a dead end.
Iv heard about many people lost there homes, work or even there partners.
In a way, that the woman have to paid the bet, with there body.
Or complete homes are destroyed, i think gambling is underestimated.
And there for it would be better to teach children in the right way, then to heal grown ups.
yes you raise an interesting point
be good to know to what extent to addiction can be overcome with training and if age makes a difference
Indeed, keep up posting interesting subjects.
Will keep an eye on them!
Cheers
