We "maintain control" over kids until they get to a certain age. Then they typically rebel against their parents.

  Oh that’s absolutely false, they rebel much earlier. The age is set so they can start anticipating at least a little bit of second order effects of their rebellions before they actually execute them.

    hopefully they do, anyway. I want a growth in their independence and (bad) decisions over time, learning and adjusting as they go. If they do completely rebel at a specific age it does not turn out well.

  Yeah, they rebel from about 12 months in my experience, so yeah...
