There are two sides to me when it comes to this arguement (I have not read this yet, but was looking at topics to see if it was ass or good)
1. If you're going to make them act like a child, just make them a child, you can still have them regress or something, just have them be young when they died, or have them be so disconnected from normalcy that they never developed mentally past a child(aka was literally never taught anything and was held in a cell type shit)
Or
2. If you can't or won't do the first option, at least talk about why they act childish, like maybe their body doesn't respond to them, or their thoughts get turned into baby babble despite their best efforts or what have you. (Basically most the regress to baby stuff doesn't even bother to do this, they'll give them a lisp, or have them be more emotional but then just have a single throwaway line about 'why am I being so childish' like lean into it, give a clear dichotomy between what they can physically get across and mentally do)

FL is such a disappointment. She's acting like a child when she is 20yr female inside. I personally don't like that.
