How do you actually keep track of everything ?

My daughter is 5 and has ADHD/sensory stuff and we’ve been dealing with a lot more meltdowns and rough transitions lately.

Something I’m realizing is I’m really bad at remembering details when we actually get to appointments. I'm asked things like “how often is it happening?” or “what was going on before the meltdown?” and I honestly blank. I just know it’s been a rough few weeks but I can’t remember specific days or patterns.

Same with school stuff. Bad days, sleep issues, sensory overload, things that set her off, etc. It all kind of blurs together after a while.

Do other parents keep track of this stuff somehow? Like writing things down, notes in your phone, an app, something else?

Right now I mostly just try to remember/write down what I can in my notes app but it’s not working great

Curious what other people do.
