Evidence: Systematic behaviour monitoring improves clinical decision-making and treatment outcomes (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001). Daily tracking of sleep, mood, medication and incidents allows pediatricians to identify patterns and adjust interventions (Barkley, 2015). Parent-completed monitoring logs are recommended as a core component of ADHD management (NICE, 2018).
