Since a 30-year-old is an adult, you can't say they are '子供らしい' (like a typical good kid)! To criticize them for acting immature, use '〜っぽい'.\n❌ がち: 'がち' implies a frequency ('often does X'). You cannot say 'often child'! \n❌ 気味: '気味' means 'feeling slightly like'. Being childish isn't a slight sickness you catch! Use 'っぽい' for deep characteristics.
