Answer 1

Here is a short paragraph using the R.A.C.E. strategy (Restate, Answer, Cite, Explain). You can copy it onto looseleaf paper.

R (Restate): If I were removed from my parents and my home, I would try to stay calm and listen to the adults who are helping me.
A (Answer): My first actions would be to ask to speak with a social worker, a teacher, or another trusted adult who can explain why this is happening and what will happen next.
C (Cite): I would tell them who I trust, give important contact information, and ask to contact relatives or a lawyer so I can stay connected and informed.
E (Explain): I would keep a few personal items with me, accept counseling if it is offered, and focus on small daily goals like going to school and keeping routines to help me feel more stable.
Conclusion: Although being removed from home would be scary, following these steps would help me stay safe, understand my options, and begin to rebuild stability.
