How You've Grown is a song from 10,000 Maniac's 1992 album Our Time in Eden. The tone of the song is sweet but melancholy, as a parent watches a little girl, remembering how slowly time seemed to pass as a child and thinking about how quickly it seems to pass as an adult. The lyrics remind parents to treasure every moment with their girls, since "no little girl can stop her world to wait for me."
Notes for Parents: How You've Grown is a lovely song about watching a little girl grow up. Its references to a child's impatience to grow, while a parent is reluctant to see childhood gone, would make an excellent jumping off point for discussions about relationships between parents and children. The lyrics are suitable for all ages, although older girls may understand the emotion behind the song better. The video is a fan-made video, setting the music to an image of the album cover.
