In this episode of the Suck Less Tomorrow podcast, I sit down with Gabriel Hannans, known online as @the_indomitable_blackman, a special educator, behavior specialist, parenting coach, and foster parent with more than a decade of experience working with children.
We discuss student behavior, classroom management, parenting, self-regulation, special education, and why children’s behavior is often a form of communication rather than simple defiance. Gabriel shares insights from working with students with ADHD, autism, emotional and behavioral disorders, and other unique learning needs.
Topics include:
- Classroom management and student behavior
- Parenting and child development
- Self-regulation and emotional regulation
- Special education and behavior supports
- ADHD, autism, and sensory processing
- Foster parenting
- Why punishment often fails to change behavior
- Building relationships with students
- Supporting children through challenging behaviors
- Practical strategies for teachers and parents
Whether you’re a teacher, parent, administrator, or someone who works with children, this conversation offers practical advice and a fresh perspective on behavior, discipline, and helping kids succeed.
