Is sleepwalking in children normal?

I am a mother of a 9 year old boy. I have been noticing him sleep walking since last 15 days on an irregular basis and not daily. So wanted to know is sleepwalking normal in children? Should we consult a doctor for the same? Does this problem keep increasing with age?
