Haha, I'd love to see the client start juggling the puzzle pieces instead! But in all seriousness, B is the clear winner here.

C sounds like a good option, but overcorrection might be a bit harsh. I'd go with B to give the client a more dignified way to communicate their needs.

I'm going with D. Positive reinforcement is always the way to go when trying to shape new behaviors.

I think B could also work, teaching the client to request escape is important.
