Free Spirit

Our two older children could not be more different.  Both have an insatiable curiosity.  However, our oldest is, in the words of his teacher, "four going on forty."  His curiosity is very focused and mature.  Our toddler, however, demonstrates her intelligence and curiosity through cunning, adventure, and thrill seeking.  She is truly a free spirit.  I know that each child is different and that our youngest will likely be just as different from the older two as the older two are from each other.  The challenge this presents right now is that it is easy to encourage my son's curiosity because the risk of encouraging him is very low--he will likely become more engaged in his education, sports, and creative projects--however, it is difficult to encourage my daughter's curiosity because there is a higher risk that she will engage in things that are not so constructive.  Having said that, I don't want to change her personality, I'm certain she came with it because she is meant to do great things that only people with her personality can do.  As with the first child, I'm trying to watch closely for signs of constructive activities in which she takes an interest or shows natural talent.  She is definitely a physically active learner--she loves active games and crafts--and she is a very good mommy to her baby dolls.  She is also an explorer, not afraid to go into or on top of anything, and she is not afraid to touch anything.  In fact, where my son likes to run away when I chase him, my daughter likes to run right at me.  She speaks her mind and won't let other kids push her around.  She is also incredibly advanced in her humor.  So which activities should I encourage that would engage such a bright, sweet, and spunky girl while she is little and exhibiting these characteristics?  Art or dancing? Are there wrestling teams for two-year old girls?  If so, I'm sure mine would do very well.
