Track for three consecutive meetings: who spoke, for how long, and how often they were interrupted — hidden patterns show in numbers, not impressions.

Keep drawing as joy not test — don't say "that's pretty" or "what's that?" — ask about the story.

Don't wait for "he'll grow out of it" — a practical question list turning your vague worry into a specific teacher conversation.

Don't ask AI "write in author X's style". That = using their commercial style sans permission.
