8 Pieces of Parenting Advice From Danny Tanner That Would Never Work in Your House

Sure, hugs are great — unless your kids are at the point of wanting to rip each other's hair out! Then it's probably best for them not to be within hugging distance for awhile.

Despite the squabbles, Stephanie and DJ always work things out by the end of an episode and are brought even closer from their experience. Now if only kiddos' fights only lasted under 30 minutes!

Luckily for Danny, the Tanner kids were never too cool to break out in a major dance session with their family. But for many kids in the real world, the thought of their parents randomly busting a move (let alone in front of their friends!) leads to nothing but eye rolls and cringes.

When there's an easy lesson to be learned and a guaranteed bright side to every situation, it's much easier to cheer up little people and replace tears with smiles in a matter of minutes.

Unfortunately, when kids are involved, things are bound to get messy. Parents struggle with having enough time to keep things moderately organized and have yet to come up with a way to make cleaning a fun family affair.

Just because you had good intentions for a happy family dinner and even spent precious time and energy preparing, it doesn't mean everyone will excitedly gather around the table. Sure, it would be wonderful if little mouths eagerly tasted each meal you made, but having tears at the dinner table is much more common than the Tanner household would have you believe.

According to the Tanners, children are always willing to sit down and chat about their feelings whenever there's even the slightest problem. If every child was as calm, polite, in touch with their feelings, and articulate as the Tanner bunch‚ there would be a lot less door slamming!

For some reason, kids just don't always think their parents are nearly as cool as the Tanner girls think Danny is. To many kids, an evening at home with their parents can't compare to fun adventures with a classmate or babysitter.
