What makes this hard
This is a parent concern moment: the signal may be small, but the record needs to stay calm, specific, and owned by the parent.
The hard part is noticing a pattern without diagnosing, panicking, or losing the timeline.
The useful move is to keep one neutral record: what happened, when, context, and next safe follow-up.
A practical example
I remember the feeling later, but I lose the details that made me notice it.
Write a short note right away: what changed, what made it noticeable, and whether it repeats.
Where the focused tool fits
Spotter is the recommended route because it owns parent concern timeline, behavior log, and pattern tracker moments.
Limit: Does not diagnose, investigate, accuse, make legal findings, or replace emergency help.
