Back to School: Children and Insurance
Getting children prepped and off to school is often a hectic time.
The last thing you want to think about is insurance.
So, don’t. That’s right, don’t think about insurance!
You’ve got too much on your plate, between clothing decisions, book-buying, book-bag purchases and packing. So, no, there’s no time for insurance.
What you can do, on the other hand, as your crazy, zany, busy early school days proceed is be mindful of things happening that could become an insurance event. Putting your insurance into a “zen-like” part of your busy day can only help you avoid the dreaded-of-all-insurance-situations:
a claim!
Let’s start with young drivers. They grow up so fast. When they pass their driver’s test, it’s a bittersweet. You have more freedom and they have more independence with getting from point A to point B.
You forgot to remember that she’d be asking to use the car to hang out with friends, attend school events, go shopping. Back to school time is a great time to be mindful, thinking of your young new-driver’s desires, and prepare yourself, and them, for that driving experience.
It’s important to carefully remind them about safe driving techniques in order to avoid accidents and claims!
Rushing out the door on those first insane days of school can lead to other potentially dangerous situations, the kind that lead to insurance claims.
How about discussing safety measures before they even leave the house to get on the road? Such as, the coffee machine? Does it have an Auto-Off feature?
Too many household fires are caused by coffee machines burning through empty coffee carafes for hours on end.
There are other potentially dangerous events you can avoid when you add a small dose of “insurance mindfulness” into your crazy Back-To-School Days.
