Will my little girl be a tomboy?

I'm wondering if my little girl will turn into a tom boy because she's got 2 younger brothers and 1 older brother. Right now, she likes her dolls and her dress up dresses, but shes just 4. We've been treating her like a girl, but she loves to play wrestle with daddy, just like the older boys do. The youngest is just a few months old so he can't. I'm a tom boy myself and don't see anything all that wrong with it, but her grandparents are worried about her.

    I don't think it matters what the grandparents think, little kids don't play with their "gender" of toys. Just whatever they are interested in is what they will play with. Of course she loves wrestling with daddy because she loves her daddy and loves her big brothers and wants to do what they do like any little one would. I loved dinosaurs and trucks at that age and I am not a tom boy :)

    your parents mean well, but they are old-fashoned. let her be a kid, not a girl or a tomboy! i would give the world to have a father to wrestle with, that would be so awesome...but he comitted suicide 16 years ago right after i was born. i really hope that if i have a baby girl (in the next 10 years) she will want to run barefoot and climb trees and explore just like i did when i was little. i also hope that she has a daddy to wrestle with.

    I doubt it,But as She gets older,she will understand the difference,between Her and Boys,She will also probably be a very tough little cookie.

    the grandparents should not car if she is going to be tomboy or not. If they do care, tell them its what she chose to be and they should except her no matter what.

    My brother is the only boy out of five. He is not effeminate in any way....

    well yeah!

    I was the tomboy in my family and I enjoyed car racing, Ben 10, sports, and wearing my jeans!

    Who cares? As long as she's happy with who she is, it doesn't matter what grandma and grandpa think...
