When you insure your child(ren), you are automatically the beneficiary, meaning you receive the benefit if your child dies. Usually you would aim for an amount that would replace your family’s financial needs if the covered individual’s income stopped. Since children typically don’t add to the income of your family, people often buy child life insurance to cover funeral costs.

Note: Keep in mind you cannot enroll a child unless you also enroll.
