I've read that when you're instructing a child to do something, whether you're a parent or a teacher, you should never end the instruction with "Okay?".

In our house the question is used to ascertain whether the child heard his parent and if so, the probability of compliance with the request/observation/dire threat to the well-being of a favored toy. At no time has it been construed by any of the parties as the parent (noun) requesting permission to parent (verb).
