Does it make sense to get coverage for my children?
Yes, it makes sense to get coverage for your children in order to guarantee future insurability. However, a parent should never underinsure himself or his spouse in order to pay premiums for a child/children. The first obligation is to cover the breadwinners of the family.

When is the ideal age to insure my child?
As with any life insurance, it is always best to be insured as early as possible before the unexpected happens. It’s even more advantageous for your child to be insured by us, because once the policy is issued, it begins accruing a cash value from which you can borrow.
Also, children under the age nearest 16 are not required to take a medical exam; parents simply complete questions about the child’s medical history within the application. Additional medical requirements may be necessary at the discretion of the underwriting department. At age nearest 16, your child can still be insured, but a medical exam will be required.
