Act one's age (6)

I believe the answer is:

behave

(Other definitions for behave that I've seen before include "Act in a certain way" , "Act in a certain manner" , "Act properly" , "Stop acting up!" , "Act or react - show good manners" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
