[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started reading to my kids from the time they were newborns while nursing them.  They are trained to relax and sit or lie still when I am reading to them.

This may not help the OP, but hopefully other new moms should read to their kids, twice a day, and show them the pictures, so the kids learn to love being read to.

You were reading kids books or your adult book to them? I can't fathom reading kids books to a baby. I am far too selfish. Maybe I am paying the price. [/quote]

I never did that and my kids all sit nicely to read. I don’t think it’s your fault. [/quote]
I think subclinical adhd is part of the family picture. When I say then run around the library I don't mean they literally run nonstop in circles, they run off and play with the kid's stuff. If I offer a book the reaction I get is "Meh". [/quote]

Oh, it's about to get clinical, OP. Especially if the 5 year old does this and they're going to Kindergarten or 1st grade. 
You'll need an assessment sooner rather than later, because if they cannot sit still long enough to LEARN, they will end up below grade level and then you've got a situation on your hands.
