Maybe this is maybe normal 5 year old behavior. I think so many little kids act that way. The schools today demand so much from an early age of sitting still, that is beyond many little kids.
Our (excellent) public school only offers two, 20 minute gym classes a week! No wonder everyone wiggles.
I think sports can be a great away to improve focus and impulse control. Both of my kids swim on an elite swim team 45 minutes for the 6 year old and one hour for the 9 year old, 4-5 days a week. There are lots of ways to do sports- karate, soccer, whatever.
