These are some questions which probably should be statements:
- Are you getting ready for school?
- Isn’t it time to turn that off?
- We’re going to leave in five minutes, ok?
- Do you think it’s time to get ready for bed?
- Don’t you think you’ve had enough?

When you ask your children a question, it implies that you would like a response from them and that their response may have an effect on the matter at hand. If this is not the case, use a statement instead of a question.
