Starting a family is an exciting phase in any parent’s minds, although it is not something to be taken lightly.
There are factors that you would have to consider before starting a family such as the cost of raising a child, physical and emotional strength, and unpredictable events, which could derail your idea of a perfect family. These unpredictable events include accidents, loss of income, critical illnesses, permanent disabilities and pregnancy complications, among others.
Here we look at the key stages of your child’s development and which protection plan suits you and your family.
Pregnancy Stage
You can opt for Prenatal Insurance, which provides coverage for both mother and child during pregnancy. This particular insurance plan specifically covers a wide range of pregnancy complications, pregnancy loss or miscarriage and congenital illnesses.
Birth Stage
Choose a Child Insurance plan that offers comprehensive protection for your child’s healthcare needs. Some child insurance plans also provide coverage in the event of death or permanent disability.
Educational Stage
An Education Insurance is designed to function as a savings plan that offers a lump-sum payout at the end of the policy period / upon maturity to cover education expenses, notably tuition fees.
Other Factors to Consider
Apart from your child’s key stages of development, there are other factors to consider such as accidents resulting in death or permanent disability, which could then lead to sudden loss of income. This is especially true if you are the sole breadwinner of the family.
You would need an insurance that helps you to leave a legacy of financial security and protection for your family’s future. These are most commonly known as Life Insurance.
