I see what you mean but the regressive aspect becomes much more
important when such childish behavior suddenly starts in a previously
normal individual. Here probably it has been continuing since child

it...Lots of times these habits get a life of their own and sometimes
specific behavior therapies might be indicated along with indicated
remedies...

other issue of childishness in adolescents and adults. I'm always
fascinated at the ramifications of these apparently simple discussion
questions -- great opportunities for learning more
