This seems like a tricky one. I'm not sure if removing the puzzle and using a time-out is the best approach, since that might just reinforce the problem behavior. Hmm, I'll have to think this through carefully.

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.
