Childish gesture would be some visible act that would be judged as immature and unreasonable - something only a child would do, not a mature grown-up.

He waved his arms and bent his waste as he yelled, being very dramatic. Usually it would be a child that gets so intense in a way that shows so much fury. So these gestures (body language) are called childish (like a kid.)
