6 year old constantly leaning on stuff

I know this sounds trivial but does anyone else’s child constantly lean against stuff?

Mine utterly refuses to stand still on his own 2 legs and would rather lean against any furniture whether it can take his weight or not. (Sometimes meaning he falls sideways as the furniture / person moves away)

He also seems to lean on his head at times!! E.g leans forwards resting his head on the bed / sofa instead of standing up.

He has no health problems, no delays, and is a bright, cute and funny 6 year old. Top of his class.

Just getting a bit miffed that whenever he leans on me - I tend to fall over as he’s growing and getting heavier.

Anyone else have a lazy leaner? How did you get them to stand still on their own 2 legs?

Ye my 4 year old is a bit like this. He just hangs on you if you're helping him balance to put his shoes on for example. Or leans against you if we're sat on the floor playing. He is lazy, he didn't walk til 18 months. He learned to ride a two wheeled bike in about 2 minutes though and can climb etc really well so I don't think there's anything wrong!
