Britney Spears decided to take her sons on tour with her after her pop pal Madonna told her it would be good for them as a family unit.

The Material Girl — who raises three children — apparently told Spears she would cherish the memories of having Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, on the road with her.

“Madonna gave Britney some great advice about her kids,” a source told Britain’s Hello! magazine. “Madonna told her, ‘Keep them close when you’re on the road. I have always taken my kids on the road with me. It’s a life they learn to accept, as long as they’re with their mom. You want to look back on those years and know they are with you. They’ll look back on these years too and they’ll be very glad to have those memories.’”

The source adds that Spears wants her boys “around all the time. Except maybe not for the parts of the show she thinks are too suggestive. A couple of times along the way Britney’s mother Lynne has taken the boys out of the arena when the show gets a little outrageous.”

It was recently claimed that Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, was keen for the superstar to extend the UK leg of her Circus world tour.
