If you're not documenting your child's behaviors now is the time to start. It can help to see if there are patterns, it's very helpful if you need further intervention from a professional and it's great to be able to look back and see how far you've come. Sometimes progress is slow and being able to go back will encourage you that you really are moving forward.
There are plenty of effective ways to keep track so just pick a way you think you are most likely to stick with. It tends to be better if you stick to factual things, keep your notes short so that you don't put off writing them out, and keep them together so that you don't have to go searching to find old notes. If you benefit from writing out your emotions I would suggest keeping a separate diary for that.
