| Abstract: |
ISSUES AND PURPOSE. To describe the behavioral style and personality characteristics of young school-age children who were identified as colicky infants and the parents' perspective of any residual behaviors or effects. DESIGN AND METHODS. A qualitative descriptive design with mothers of 12 children identified with colic as infants and 8 mothers of children who did not have colic. RESULTS. Three themes of children who had colic: independence/self-reliance, activity, and emotional lability/intensity. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. Children generally were perceived as normal and healthy. Residual feelings, parent-child interaction issues, and perceived or real persistent child characteristics may surface in families who experienced colic, especially during stressful periods.
