I know this is a controversial topic, so I don't want to start any flaming depates, but does anyone know how children are disciplined in the orphanages in China?

We are adopting a toddler, and I would like to know how he will perceive certain discipline approaches. I don't want to give time outs if the isolation will be more counterproductive than something like a pat of the butt (Notice I didn't say spank!) or eye contact and stern no.

I don't want to assume that the way I was disciplined growing up is automatically how I should correct a child with a very different background.

Thanks!
