I have often heard people give the advice to stop adding “okay?” when talking to kids when you aren’t actually fine with them opting out.
I agree that it’s good to be clear, and otoh afaict adults often do this bc they legit think it’s not great to order kids around.

So I would think that an evenhanded plan to be clearer and more integrated would often resolve this thing in the other direction to, and the adult would see that they wouldn’t truly want to proceed if the kid weren’t “okay” with it.

I was cringing the other day bc I got a FB memory reminding me that a bunch of years ago I referred to myself as being in the process of writing a parenting book. And I really was writing words at the time… One day maybe 🤞
And it always means a lot when people bring it up 🥰
