Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.
ADHD is considered hereditary. If a parent has ADHD, there is a 50% chance their child will have ADHD as well.
I am not a medical professional. If you are concerned about your children, you should discuss this with your pediatrician. He or she would be better able to determine if your children need further testing or evaluation.

I hope this information helps.
