There's a lot of benefit to having a childlike mindset towards life. Allowing yourself to be more like that of a child can be paradoxically empowering in a way that pushes back against the drudgery of modern adult life.
That said, childlike ≠ immature. You can still have a childlike sense of wonder about the world without having to act rude or disrespectful towards others.
Still though, it's sad that our culture has associated being rude and temperamental with acting like a child.
There are plenty of positive connotations to being childlike, we should use them more.

There's nothing wrong with acting like a child so long as you're not hurting anyone and you're respectful to others.
Which is why we should normalize it more!
