An undeveloped prefrontal cortex is partially responsible for impulsiveness in young children. The prefrontal cortex, which is a part of the brain located at the front of the frontal lobe, is the "executive" of the brain, because it is a crucial part of the brain, involved in planning, prioritizing, and reflection. If not fully developed these functions are not working properly.
