The actress obviously has the momentum to keep multiple plates in the air. After all, she has been in the public eye since she was a [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bure added that her experience on <em>Full House<\/em> was a \u201cgreat\u201d one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the case for me.

We had a great experience,\u201d she said. \u201cWe all had really good grounded parents, and they made good choices for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bure admitted that she is not aware of the current protections in place for child actors today, she believes that today\u2019s generation should \u201cbe cautious of the people you surround yourself with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Bure\u2019s children, Natasha, Lev, and Maksim, opted not to pursue acting, she shared her advice for parents who find themselves going down that path.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the child is like, \u2018I love this, I want to perform, I\u2019d like to be on that,\u2019 \u2026 give your child that opportunity and protect them while they\u2019re getting that opportunity,\u201d she said. \u201cBut if the parents are saying, \u2018I want my child to have the career that I never\u2019 had-that\u2019s a red flag for me. Then it\u2019s about you trying to help your child become a star out of a desire from your own heart, not necessarily what\u2019s best for the child. And that\u2019s where I think that decision-making can get really dicey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bure has come a long way from her Full House days as she is one of the top leading ladies on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/candace-cameron-bures-great-american-family-movies-a-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Great American Family<\/a>.
