Washington
(ANI):
Britney
Spears
began
her
first
Parenting
Without
Conflict
session
at
The
Beverly
Hills
Hotel
on
Oct
24,
a
source
close
to
the
singer
has
revealed.
According
to
reports,
Spears" former
husband,
Kevin
Federline,
was
also
present
at
the
hotel,
as
the
program
strongly
urges
that
both
parents
take
the
course
together,
but
it
is
not
mandatory.
"She's
not
nervous,
she's
actually
looking
forward
to
it,"
People
quoted
the
source,
as
saying.
The
six
week
program
teaches
cooperative
parenting
and
communication
skills,
and
is
one
of
several
requirements
that
L.A.
Superior
Court
Commissioner
Scott
Gordon
ordered
Britney
to
complete.
"Instead
of
saying
'You're
always
bringing
the
kids
home
late
because
you're
an
insensitive
jerk."
We
teach
parents
instead
to
say
'When
you
bring
the
kids
home
late,
I
feel
like
you're
not
valuing
my
time,
and
I
feel
hurt
or
angry
as
a
result,""
Craig
Ogulnick,
a
supervisor
for
the
program,
said.
Both
Kevin
and
Britney
are
required
in
court
on
Oct
26
for
a
progress
review,
and
must
have
completed
at
least
three
joint
co-parenting
counseling
sessions
together,
the
source
said.
Besides,
the
'Toxic"
singer
is
also
required
to
complete
three
individual
counseling
sessions
"to
address
parenting
issues."
Currently
Federline
retains
physical
custody
of
sons
Sean
Preston,
2,
and
Jayden
James,
1.
