Everyone's experience is different but:
> Then from 4 or 5 upwards they're at school a lot and starting to lose interest in what their parents want to do
I had to disagree with this. Thought this might be a European experience, in the US there probably isn't a lot of time to interact with the kids during the typical work week.
I would say that interest in what we do has stayed steady if not increased after about 3 years old because now they understand more things.
At this rate I expect the "losing interest part" to start during the tween (8-12) or teenage years.
