Brit's Visitation Scaled Back as Parenting Coach Reveals Damaging Report

Posted by Extra Staff on October 30, 2007 2:22 PM

The judge in Britney Spears' custody case has ruled that Britney will get two overnight visits per week. He did not reinstate the 50/50 agreement she once had with Kevin Federline.

Brit will get Sean Preston and Jayden James from 12 noon to 7:00 p.m., plus one overnight visit per week. All visits will be monitored. In addition, she must also show evidence that she has child-proofed her pool by Friday.

In his order, the judge wrote that Britney has "little communication" with the kids, and that the environment in the house ranges from "chaotic" to "somber."

However, it's the parenting coach that gives the most insight into Britney's chaotic life.

Britney failed to meet with her coach Lisa Hacker three times. Hacker says that though Britney clearly loves her children and the kids are bonded to her, Brit’s interactions with the kids “are not child centered.” “It seems that her choices are dependent more upon what she wants to do at any given time rather than what would be more enjoyable for the children,” Hacker writes.

Hacker observed that the kids “have no real schedule or routine.” Hacker reported that “during all three of my visits Ms. Spears rarely engaged with the children in either conversation or play.”

Hacker also is concerned that neither of Britney’s homes were child-proofed. Britney seemed to show “a lack of general attention at times” and seemed to have “little or no interest” in utilizing Hacker’s guidance.

Through it all, Hacker makes it clear that there was nothing she “would characterize as abusive in a traditional sense.” After Hacker handed her report to the judge, however, Britney became much more engaged with the kids and with Hacker.

“The problem,” writes Hacker, “is that unless Ms. Spears realizes the consequences of her behavior and the impact that it has on her children, nothing is going to be successful.”

you know why she is the way she is ..because she had 2 babies so no break than she had a failed marriage and than all this media attention do you guys ever think that maybe she is going through a depression do you not see that she has started doing this after the babies and the marriage…so how about instead of ripping her apart why don’t you show support…it’s sad that there is no more compassion …when someone is going through a rough time you help them you don’t try to destroy them…how would you feel if everyone around you was only there for the money if everywhere you go there are 20 people in your face if every thing you do is photographed …we all make mistakes leave her alone….HATE is not right i would think given all that is going on in the world you would all be smart enough to see that…HATE BRINGS HATE…grow up….

What’s up with those ugly sunglasses she has on?!?!?!?
On another celeb, those sunglasses would look cool, but in britney spears, they’re incredibly UGLY, to match just how ugly she is as a person these days.
No wonder the judge decided not to award her custody of her sons.
As someone else said here, she really did bring it upon herself, what with the shoddy lifestyle she had for her kids…..

can you at least mention that she showed improvement towards the last sessions?

the report was based on the first few sessions. of course, she would not be fully comfortable with having someone else there yet.and considering her emotional problems, i am not surprised.

i honestly think she is suffering from some kind of an emotional depression/disorder.

the thing here is that, where is her family?? as in where??

i know, maybe they tried a couple of times, they sent her to rehab and all. but, if you see that any of what your doing is not working, maybe its time to be more aggressive in trying to fix the situation. her family should not stop until they can manage to put some sense in her. but they seem to be VERY SLOW in doing their part.

when you see your daughter spiraling of control like that,parents should do everything it takes to help her out, make her feel loved and that everything is going to be ok as long as she complies with everything thats needed to be done; that they are there for her.

but seeing brit right now, its like SHE IS ALONE. and she probably feels alone too. shes scared. shes sad.

even she herself is probably doubting herself as a mother now, which is maybe resulting to her “i dont care” attitud. she believes that maybe she is a bad mother, AND NO ONE is there with her to make her realize that she could turn this around by starting to reflect on her own self and by making an effort to get better.

there is a boycot britney thing going around. a lot of open letters has been published, why dont these people start making an open letter to HER FAMILY?? they play a big role in this too…
