What is Education Consulting?
Education consulting provides expert guidance to parents and students navigating the school system from preschool through Grade 12. Whether it's understanding school curriculums, transitioning between grade levels, or adapting to a new learning environment, education consultants offer personalized support to help children succeed.
At Charted Roots Education, our consulting services go beyond academics. We educate and equip parents with the tools they need to create a strong foundation at home—because true success starts there. We help parents:
Build stronger communication with their children
Set healthy boundaries and age-appropriate responsibilities
Reinforce accountability and positive behaviour
Create structured routines that support emotional and academic growth
These elements lead to a more positive and enriching home environment, which has a direct impact on how children learn, behave, and thrive in school.
Why Home Support Matters….
Teachers and schools are limited in what they can do—they are trained and mandated to teach curriculum. But if a student arrives like a sailboat with holes in its vessel and a torn sail, no matter how skilled the crew or calm the waters, the boat cannot move forward.
The same is true for students who come to school without the structure, consistency, and support they need at home. When children lack routine, boundaries, manners, and emotional regulation, they often struggle to receive new ideas, stay motivated, or connect with others. This can lead to behavioural issues, disengagement from learning, and mental health concerns—challenges that often begin at home, not in the classroom.
Many teachers are also working with students who easily veer off the right path, and sadly, parents may not even be aware it’s happening. Due to strict parameters set by school boards or government policies, teachers often cannot intervene beyond the classroom. Schools are underfunded and limited in how they can respond to deeper issues affecting students.
This is why early intervention through parent education and home-based coaching is not just helpful—it’s critical. At Charted Roots Education, we work to bridge the gap between home and school, helping parents build the foundation their children need to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our Mission Statement
At Charted Roots Education Consulting, we believe that a child’s success begins at home—with structure, communication, and accountability. In today’s world, many students arrive at school without the routines, responsibilities, or emotional readiness they need to thrive. Teachers and schools, though well-intentioned, are limited by policies, time, and resources—and they cannot do it all.
Our mission is to empower parents with the tools, strategies, and confidence to actively guide their children’s development—academically, emotionally, and socially. We help families build strong home environments, establish healthy boundaries, and understand what schools can—and cannot—provide.
Wouldn’t you want insight into how the education system actually works, so you can support your child more effectively?
It’s better to be informed than to assume that teachers and schools will take care of everything. When parents understand the system, they can advocate for their children, support learning at home, and raise confident, capable learners.
Through personalized consulting, advocacy, and practical, real-world strategies, we help ensure that children grow up with the life skills, discipline, and resilience they need to stay on the right path—and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
If your child is about to take a big leap into junior high, wouldn’t you want to know what that transition will be like for them?
We provide support at every stage your child is at—and even offer a future glance at what’s ahead. That’s reassurance. That’s preparation. That’s peace of mind—for you as a parent.
“Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, movement, and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.”
— Bob Keeshan
Facts…….
Recent studies have highlighted concerning trends in student engagement and effort:
Declining Attention Spans: Research indicates that the average person's attention span when using digital devices has decreased from about two and a half minutes in 2004 to just 47 seconds today—a 66% reduction over two decades.
Reduced Study Time: Between 1961 and 2004, the average study time for college students fell from 24 hours per week to approximately 11 hours per week.
Increased Inattention: In the 2023-24 school year, 26% of public school leaders reported that student inattention had a severe negative impact on learning, with 75% noting at least a moderate impact.
These trends underscore the importance of fostering focus, responsibility, and a strong student work ethic. At Charted Roots Education Consulting, we are committed to empowering parents with the tools and knowledge to guide their children toward becoming engaged, capable, and resilient individuals.
More recent studies indicate that young adults today achieve financial independence later than previous generations.
A 2019 Pew Research Center study found that while 64% of Americans believe individuals should be financially independent by age 22, only about 24% of young adults reach this milestone by that age.
Additionally, a 2024 report from the Pew Research Center revealed that only 45% of young adults consider themselves completely financially independent from their parents. This trend suggests that many young adults continue to rely on parental support well into their twenties.
These findings highlight a shift in the transition to adulthood, with many young people requiring extended support and guidance compared to previous generations.
Concerning studies and reports indicate a growing trend of young adults involving their parents in professional and academic settings:
Job Interviews: A survey by Resume Templates found that 26% of Gen Z individuals (ages 18 to 27) have brought a parent to a job interview. Among these, 37% had their parent accompany them to the office, 26% had the parent physically sit in the interview room, and 18% said their parent introduced themselves to the hiring manager.
Parental Involvement in Academia: A study published by NASPA revealed that 13% of first-year college students had parents who frequently contacted college officials to intervene on their behalf.
These patterns suggest an increasing reliance on parental involvement among young adults in situations traditionally navigated independently.
