Child behavior

My 8 year old has just recently been jerking limbs during sleep.  Just this week I have noticed that when she starts to fall asleep she jerks her hands and then feet.  Should I be concerned that she is having some sort of seizure. This type of behavior has never happened before

Such sleep myoclonus occurs with many people, and generally does not require any specialized intervention and is not an indication of someething harmful occurring. However, you should inform your daughter's pediatrician about the symptom.
