CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE Presented by the TexCare 60 Second Radio Feature    MP3 "Childhood Sleepwalking” FOR AIR WEEK OF October 22, 2001 Does your child have signs of parasomnia? Hi, I’m Dr. John Hellerstedt, and this CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE is presented by the TexCare . . a Texas initiative to provide children’s health insurance for only $18 a month or less to most families. Parasomnia is the name given a broad range of sleep disturbances, including sleepwalking. Fortunately, most cases of childhood sleepwalking are mild, but they should never be ignored. Because children are not awake during a sleepwalking episode, it’s important to eliminate dangers like sharp objects, unlocked windows, or open stairways. Above all, always let your pediatrician know if your child sleepwalks. This CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE is presented by the TexCare - - - Reminding you that no child should be without health insurance. Call 1-800-647-6558 to apply for children’s health insurance that for most families is $18 a month or less. And join me next time for the CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE.
