Senile is specifically for mental condition so childish behavior comes from senility but dotage is a close one but its for weakness, not the behavior. I am so sure because we had a poem where 7 stages of life eas shown and the last was senility which says childish behavior.

@All.
Here it is mentioned the age and not the condition. Senility is a mental condition of old age, and dotage is the age when these mental problems happen.
