Default studio portraits for children

Hi,
I am having trouble with motion blur when photographing children inside. I use a Nikon D200, and usually use aperture priority (various settings tried)using an 18-200 mm lens (as close as I can get to the subject - usually about 40-50 mm) ISO - about 250 or so. I've tried setting white balance on auto or pre-set. I have an SB600 flash, but it seems to over expose the skin when I use it. I also use two continuous lighting stands moving them around to try and get the correct lighting so the lighting is usually not low. I'm not sure if I have an incorrect setting on my camera that I'm not aware of, or just what I'm doing wrong. I can't seem to get the shutter speed fast enough to go with the aperture setting that I"m looking for. Any suggestions? Thanks alot.
