what’s a good fishing setup for my kid’s first trip

[UphillHabit]

I'm pretty new to fishing and it hit me that I should take my 5-year-old out for a little adventure. I spotted some kid-sized rods at a store, but I'm not sure if that's the way to go. What's the best approach for a beginner like us? I'd love to hear what kind of gear you all would recommend for just a fun day by the water.
