Behaviors and interactions observed during infant feeding time, and parental and teacher reports correlated to negative activity of parents in the first few months of on an infant’s life (Welsh). A study completed by research scientist, Michael Lorber, tested a child’s behavior in infancy to see if it was a predictor of sustained hostility later in childhood. Babies 7 to 10 days olds were tested through a neurological exam which included pinpricks and cold objects placed to their skin and their reaction to the annoying sensation determined their baseline level of neonatal difficulty, Then, when the infants were 3 and 6 months old, researchers observed the mothers feeding their children, noting whether the women acted affectionate or irritated.

A child may be emotionally impatient, irritable, quick to becoming frustrated or being annoyed, angered, and hostile. A child may have a tendency to be headstrong, which can include rule-breaking, stubbornness, noncompliance or a direct refusal to obey, ignoring the requests of others, such as parents, high rates of exploratory activity (hyperactivity), impulsive, excessive, and even defiant verbal behavior, and physical resistance to the demands of another
