Answer

Only keep healthy foods in the house. Veggies and some fruit. Cook balanced meals for the entire family and don’t eat out. Get the entire family moving and limit screen and book time. Do not talk to your child about their weight. Do not talk about their weight in front of them. Do not criticize their food intake or choices; only keep good things in the house as options. Make sure they have a good sleep schedule and drink lots of water. If their weight continues to concern you after all of the healthy things are done that are good for everyone; have the doctor do blood work. But here’s the thing, if you aren’t willing to do the lifestyle change for your entire family then you cannot expect a different attitude from a child. You have to make your household healthy if you want healthy children. Be active together, eat healthy together, drink water together, go to bed on time together.

Answer

talk to his doctor. if the doctor has recommended your baby lose weight then they’ll probably have some advice. if they didn’t and you’re just looking for a petite baby, please don’t

Answer

Let’s be honest, you probably caused the child to be overweight. Whether it was by not providing healthy meals and snacks or not encouraging activity. So don’t make him feel like a leper about this if the doctor has recommended he lose weight. Do a family activity that is physical and don’t make it about losing weight. The kid is only 5. He shouldn’t even have to be dealing with this, and it could really impact his self-esteem.
Not trying to shame you, but be honest with yourself. I’m glad you’re trying to help him now, but just be careful how you do it. Work closely with your doctor.

Answer

Just have him eat healthy and get active with him, but DO NOT TALK ABOUT HIS WEIGHT. Some kids are just bigger, just like adults. He will grow up and be fine, but you have to be a good role model for health and fitness. Go outside and play, put him in a youth sport, put restrictions on screen time. Let him be bored.

Answer

In my original response, I assumed that you’d already talked to a doctor about this. So, just wanted to come and agree with other commenters that this is a conversation that needs to be had with your child’s pediatrician.   
65 pounds is heavy for the AVERAGE 5 year old, so maybe that’s the case with your child. But there are lots of other factors involved in determining your child’s healthy weight, so definitely make sure a doctor is involved.

Answer

Did the paediatrician say he needed to loose weight? I would be pushing weight loss at such a young age unless specifically told by a doctor. Usually they would give you advice on how to proceed in a healthy way. 
But keeping him active in sports and stuff could definitely helps! Maybe enroll him in a soccer team or something like that.

Answer

Family bicycle rides? Group sports like soccer?

Answer

Just make sure there isn't anything wrong hormone wise with your five year old. Hormonal imbalance can probably be the cause of weight gain. and if everything is all good then getting things like a bike trampoline anything that involves outdoor activity and moving around will help lose weight

Answer

Some good excersises are jump rope and just let him run around at the park. Swimming is a good one too

Answer

Any type of outdoor activity… T-ball, kickball, soccer, Rollerskating, rollerblading, bike riding, tossing a ball or Frisbee, swimming, just plain old walking and running…￼￼￼ indoor activities like active video games such as just dance are good too. There are also YouTube videos with exercises for kids that make it fun.￼
