Then I suggest he has seen this in others or on TV or the computer? Has he any family, babysitters anyone you can think of who behaves in this way ,Most children copy what they see, who is it he' hits..?

yes he is going to school but not to any day care center. He has no siblings. Violent means he tries to beat every one in sight.

Is he going to daycare or school could be something there. Is there a pattern of this behavior ,when you say violent what does he do and to whom? Has he any siblings and how does he get on with them as sometime behavior in children is learned .
