Securing Your Baby’s Future: Financial Planning for Parents

What you need to know

According to Dr. Sears manipulation by a toddler is "an attempt to cry, to annoy, or to take advantage of their parents in an unfair way. They (babies) also cry because they have a need. To ignore the cry is to ignore the need."

There you go, now you know that when your little one gives a tear-free cry, it’s best to ignore him. But at the same time, ask yourself “Why did my baby need to cry and behave in this fashion?”

The answer may be very small and revealing. Maybe you have been away from your baby for a long time and all your baby needs is a hug and reassurance. Maybe you have been tied up with household chores and office routine. Maybe the older sibling is taking away more attention. Maybe you have been just too tired to handle your baby’s demands alone.

Seek help from your partner, neighbours, or even a 30 minute time spot with the older sibling. Bottom line: Analyse, address and correct.

Securing Your Baby’s Future: Financial Planning for Parents

The incredible journey of growth for your baby is marked by the transition from innate reflexes, such as sucking and grasping, to learned behaviours. As your baby grows, so does your responsibility, which also extends to planning for their long-term financial security.

For example, a ‘best term insurance plan for 1 crore’ easily provides robust coverage at affordable rates. This ensures your family remains guarded against uncertainties that life may bring. Using a term insurance calculator, you can easily identify a cost-effective term insurance plan with significant coverage for your baby. Securing the future of your child with life insurance ensures both financial security and peace of mind.
