When Palmer was 14, he told me he wanted to jump off a cliff in a squirrel suit
Palmer: Mom, sometimes I get on my bike late at night and ride down the middle of the street with no shirt on. Oh, and can I skydive for my 16th birthday?
Kerry: Do you really think you’re immune to broken bones and bleeding?
Palmer: It’s not going to happen to me.
Kerry: I wrote in my journal that night:
“It is FRIGGIN’ TERRIFYING raising teenage boys.
As a parent of a teen, you are no longer in control of their destiny. At least it feels that way sometimes. They think they know best. And you know you know best.
And that’s why raising a teen is tough. It doesn’t come with a manual. As you can see, we have no shortage of death-defying stories that involve Kerry praying nightly for her son to make it to 17.”
That’s why we’re here to help you forge the relationship with your teen that you want.
Loving. Respectful. Empathetic. Fun. And close.

I’m a tall woman. So I love feeling short when I’m scrunched between my grown-up sons
