The inability to process their raw emotions.
When an adult hears disappointing news, they say ok, and think about how they can get a better outcome next time.
A child starts yelling and crying and hitting.
Tell a kid that there’s a pizza party later, and they’ll want a PIZZA PARTY RIGHT NOW!
Adults are able to wait until later without bouncing off the walls or whining for it to happen now.
Fun
Behaving in an emotionally disregulated manner, similar to how a child who has not developed as a person would do
It’s childish if someone bitter tells you it is
So everything is childish
Enjoy life, people
You’re confusing childish with child-like. Childish always has negative connotations.
pee pee poo poo
hehehehehe
PJ is that you?
I think people use that word to mean immature. Childish implies that a behavior is age-inappropriate, but also implies that the behavior would be appropriate for a child, which is often not true. Immature is a better word to use when someone is doing behaviors that indicate their brain development hasn’t caught up with their life situation.
It depends on the age of the child and if they can reasonably be expected to know better

Stubbornness, shortsightedness, dramatization
It’s caused by the speaker not liking what another person is doing, but being unable to articulate a real argument against the behavior. So, they call it “childish” as a way to express that dislike in a socially acceptable fashion.
Selfish behaviour that doesn’t consider other people’s needs
