Britney’s Son is Having Nightmares

The following italicized article is from www.pagesix.com:

Britney Spears’ visits with her kids have been emotional for the whole family. Sean Preston has been sleeping in the same room as father Kevin Federline lately because he’s been having nightmares.

According to insiders, Preston, 2, also cried for his dad at first when Britney picked them up, but Kevin soothed him and he settled down.

“Jamie told Kevin that Britney handled the visit well. She actually did cry, but that was only because Sean cried when she took them from Kevin,” says the insider.

Britney has her own way of trying to soothe her sons. "Britney always sings to them. She loves lullabies. In fact, before the split, both Britney and Kevin sang to the boys every night."

The boys are said to be confused when it comes to their mom, which is another reason why either Jamie Spears or a psychologist is present during the visits.

“Jamie plays with them and keeps them busy. They enjoy their grandfather, so it makes the time easier,” says the source.

Part of the problem is that Britney treats her sons more like dolls than children. "She dresses them for show and tell," says the insider. "She likes to show them off, but not give them the nurturing they need. I understand she is working on this part of her motherhood with her psychiatrist."

Other sources tell us that the kids are said to be playing a "pivotal role in her progress."

"Brit has expressed interest in becoming closer to the boys. Kevin hopes she is talking from her heart."

The singer is also said to be terrified of going back into the hospital and made a deal with her family to try to make the home visits and periodic outpatient visits work. If they do, then no hospital.

Adds the insider: “It all depends on how she does each time and how the boys are when they get home after visiting her.”

Meanwhile, sources tell us that Britney could get up to three visits per week with her kids now that she has new attorney Stacy Phillips on her side. "The number one goal is for Britney to regain routine visitation with the kids progressing to a mutually agreed upon custody arrangement between Kevin and Britney and averting a custody trial," says the insider.
