I agree with you on the first two. Pouting is really a facial expression like this: http://tinyurl.com/2k3tt7

I think even big guys do that... How about big guys throwing a tantrum or pouting or sulking?

Then I say, she acts childish at times.

I'm told being childish is different from being childlike? Is it right?
