Providing opportunities for community service activities has been shown to be effective in promoting sympathetic concern in children. By engaging in activities that benefit others, children can develop empathy, compassion, and a sense of social responsibility. Avoiding disagreements in front of Raj and limiting unstructured social activities do not necessarily promote sympathetic concern. Allowing Raj to independently work through conflicts with peers may be helpful, but it is not as effective as providing opportunities for community service.
