I AM RECEIVING ALL 3 OF MY KIDS IPHONE 5 TEXT MESSAGES ON MY MACBOOK AIR MESSAGE APP. WE ALL SHARE THE SAME ITUNES USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND I WOULD PREFER NOT TO CHANGE THIS. IS THERE A WAY TO DISCONTINUE THE TEXT MESSAGE FROM COMING TO MY NEW MAC?

You can continue using the same ID for purchases, but each kid should have their own ID for their iCloud purposes. Set them each up with an ID, then each of them should sign out of all iCloud services and then sign back in under their new ID (but keep the iTunes and App Store ID as it is).
You actually can also use their new IDs for purchases and link them to your ID under Family Sharing, where you can control each kid's purchases. More info:

But first see if new IDs just for iCloud is sufficient for your needs.
