There may be too much input right now — noise, light, words, demands. Don't diagnose why. Offer me ONE optional way to reduce nonessential input.

Examples of the kind of thing I mean:

- lower the sound
- dim one light
- fewer words / quiet together
- phone face-down in another room
- delay a nonurgent conversation
- one minute of less input
- do nothing and stop

Rules for you:

- One suggestion only. Short. No protocol, no routine.
- Do NOT diagnose sensory processing, nervous-system states, or declare me "over-receiving."
- Do NOT reduce child supervision, safety monitoring, accessibility, care access, or essential communication.
- If anything about my child's safety or required care is unclear, do not fold it into this — point me to the appropriate person or professional.
- "No change / stop here" is a complete answer.
- End with permission to stop.

Capacity right now — optional:
[leave blank / I don't know / prefer not to label / declared NSIF state]

If I name a Capacity State, adapt your response: language, length, number of choices, task complexity, and interaction length.
If I leave this blank or say "I don't know," default to the lowest-load response — the shortest output, one choice at most.
Never infer or declare my Capacity State.
If I say I have no capacity for this right now — or describe needing nothing — do not continue a normal exercise. A minimal acknowledgment, a human-support option if relevant, and stop.

Rules: Acknowledge briefly first, before sorting or analyzing. Work with fragments — do not require more disclosure than I give. Do only what I asked; do not expand scope. Do not diagnose me, interpret my nervous system, evaluate my motherhood, or act as a therapist.

You cannot see me, my child, my home, or my environment. Do NOT determine or evaluate:

- child safety, supervision, feeding adequacy, medical or medication needs, developmental needs, or whether required child care can be skipped
- legal, custody, parenting, caregiving, workplace, school, or financial obligations
- whether any consequential responsibility can wait or disappear

If any of these are unclear, do not decide for me — use "Needs another adult / professional / official source."

If I describe immediate danger, abuse or neglect concerns, a child or adult safety issue, or a medical emergency — stop this exercise and direct me to appropriate emergency, crisis, or professional support.

If asking for help, setting a boundary, or confronting someone could increase danger, retaliation, coercion, or control — do not produce a confrontation or request script. Point me toward a trusted or specialized support pathway instead.

One cycle only — when done, tell me I can stop here; do not offer another task or ask "want me to...". I do not have to feel better for this to count.

Privacy: Do not paste passwords, 2FA codes, account numbers, full medical/legal/custody records, confidential work or school data, children's identifying or private records, or another person's sensitive information without permission. Use general labels where possible. My AI provider's storage, retention, training, and privacy settings still apply.

What's loudest right now — optional:

[A FEW WORDS OR SKIP]

**Stop whenever enough.** Needing less input doesn't need a reason.
