I have a definite habit of ending sentences with "OK?" when I speak to dd.
I never really thought about it but I was reading this goofy article about different parenting styles (WHY do I read those other magazines???
: ) and asking "OK?" was lumped in there with other "permissive parenting" traits such as "over-anxious to please", "can't say no", "indulgent".
Usually I'm just looking for dd to acknowledge that she has heard me-- I'm not actually asking her for permission.
So, ummmm is this a habit I should break? Any ideas how?
