     Researchers from the University of Newcastle are leading a worldfirst study which builds on earlier
unpublished research that children are most likely to be guided by their father's eating and exercise habits.
     The new study "Healthy Dads,Healthy Kids",led by Associate Professor Philip Morgan from the
designed to help fathers promote and demonstrate to their children positive behaviours related to physical
activity and healthy eating.
     "The earlier findings showed that children are more likely to follow the example set by their father than
their mother when it comes to eating and exercise," said Morgan.
     Morgan saw striking results in a previous trial involving 165 overweight children.He found children who
lost the most weight had fathers who were engaged in the new eating and exercise plan.
     "We might think mothers are the main influence on children's diet and health,but the reality may be
different," said Morgan. "The roles of fathers are changing.More families have two parents working and
more fathers are involved with food preparation and food shopping than in the past."
     "Fathers influence the food and physical activity habits in the home through their behaviours,attitudes
and approach to food and eating,and act as a role model to their children," said Morgan.
    Researchers are inviting fathers who would like to reduce their weight to join the "Healthy Dads,Healthy
Kids" program.Participation involves attending eight sessions (讲习班) at the University of Newcastle
over six months where the men will receive information,have weightrelated measurements recorded and
complete questionnaires.
     Cooking healthy food with the kids and creating a backyard fitness circuit (循环训练场) are among
the assignments (课外作业) for fathers taking part in the study.

　　When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously(同时的)about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what's happening in their lives．When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up．Men can either talk or watch the screen－they can't do both-and they don't understand that women can．Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships－not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen．

　　During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going．He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally．Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships．For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose：to build relationships and make friends．For men, to talk is to relate the facts．

　　Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding．A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours．

　　There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls'mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys．Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys．Scientific evidence shows parents res the brain bias of their children．Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more．Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply．
