D
Laughter from watching a funny movie is likely to result in pain reduction without causing stress on the joints. Strenuous exercise would likely aggravate the pain experience and potentially cause injury. Visualization is associated with the endogenous analgesia system but might not be effective in a young child. Rap music is a form of distraction that would cause excitation rather than relaxation, so this would not be effective.
