Your children may not have financial responsibilities and they may still need to be reminded to brush their teeth and clean behind their ears every night, but that doesn’t mean that they have no need for insurance.
From birth until the time they reach financial independence, your children need your help in maintaining appropriate insurance coverage for all their needs.
Health Insurance
There is no time in a person’s life when they should be without health insurance. When bringing your children to the doctor, to the emergency room after an accident, to get shots and regular checkups and attending to every other medical need, the last thing you need to worry about is how you will pay for the treatment. Health insurance is an affordable expense that controls costs and out-of-pocket expenses without sacrificing care.
Life Insurance
It’s difficult to think about life insurance for a child, but it’s practical. But not just for covering the final expenses should the unthinkable occur. By locking in rates as a child and allowing cash values to begin accruing, you create a financial head start for your kids as they move into adulthood.
Auto Insurance
Once your children start training for that learner’s permit, it’s time to think about adding them to your auto insurance policy and increasing your limits to compensate for your new risk. And even if you give them their own car, you still need to make sure they have auto insurance so their first accident doesn’t become your financial nightmare.
Renter’s Insurance
When your child goes away to school, whether they live in a college dorm or an off-campus apartment, make sure they have renter’s insurance. It won’t just cover the value of their computer, laptop, furniture and clothes, it will also provide protection from liabilities so if someone is injured while visiting them, they won’t be burdened with the medical expenses and damages.
