It's just something I think about sometimes.

as far as I know there are no mental disorders where someone suddenly reverts to childhood. even the mental disorder DID does not include someone ...suddenly... at age 40 reverting to childhood mentality...DID is a mental disorder where a person has child like alters that have been coming out all their lives. if this person had this type of alters they would have been switching into child like alters all their life not suddenly at age 40.
that said I do know of a sexual fetish that includes things like acting out child activities/acting like a child/ enjoys childrens toys, movies, ...
I also know of people who have had children do enjoy childrens movies, childrens foods and such simply because it brings happy memories of when their children were children.
my point is there are many different reasons why a 40 year old person would suddenly live the lifestyle of childhood/revert to liking child movies and the plain foods of children. who knows maybe this person just wants to do their own thing and live a less complicated life...
in the end the only person that can tell you why this 40 yr old is doing the things they are doing is this 40 year old person....my suggestion if this continues to bother you then ask them.
