“When my parents saw how it didn’t do me good they decided to cut my internet from home and set the example of stopping playing video games”.

The children’s book “Petradi of Life” refers to Christos and his brother. “I wanted to write a book about my relationship with my brother. I wanted to pass the message how there is always someone there to love you, children have to take initiatives to write and read. Children must love books. I would like to tell all children not to stop dreaming. Today is the World Children’s Book Day we must all be open to the magical world of books, “12 -year -old Christos revealed in the show” Where there is Greece “.

His father, Dimitris Tasiopoulos, speaking at skai.gr, described the change in his son’s behavior: “He was irritable, furious, he was not the Christos we knew.” As he explains, “he avoided the exits, he preferred to stay stuck on the console. His desire to play more made him try to be good at lessons to make more time in the game. “

When asked how his son managed to get rid of him, his father reported to skai.gr: “The little one was isolated for a while, but slowly he found himself again.”. His mother encouraged him to channel his thinking to creation: “When he asked her what to do, she said, ‘Write a story’ – because they always wrote comic books.”.

“If the house provides children security and support, then they will feel confident in every step of the way.”emphasizes the 13 -year -old’s father.
