Describe why our need to have control or influence increases as we grow up and mature

What will be an ideal response?


As we grow up and mature, our need to have control or influence increases, which determines how a relationship will evolve. In relationships that we find satisfying, control is shared, whereby each
person has some say in what happens. These relationships foster mutual respect and shared
responsibility. Relationships in which we have little or no say are generally much less satisfying and
often are one-sided.
