It’s almost like impulse control takes mental maturity, hmm…
For real though, I wish more adults would remember this when interacting with kids. I see some people get so frustrated with kids for reacting on impulse, as if they have control over it the way adults do. Childhood amnesia happens and so many adults forget what it was like to be kids, but if you can’t remember what it’s like, it’s going to be harder to understand why they do what they do.

You have the perfect name for this conversation XD
I totally agree though, adults expect too much of kids sometimes.
