If he's being inserted into an established daycare, there's going to be a little upheaval as the "pecking order" in the class gets adjusted -- the other kids are adapting to your son, and he to them.
I would talk to your son a little bit each day before he gets dropped off. Ask him about what we do if we want another toy someone is playing with, or if someone else pushes us, and things like that. Help him to understand that hitting is not an OK response, and to rely on the authority figures (the teachers) to help resolve conflicts -- they're used to dealing with this sort of thing.

Oh my! Please don't waste one millisecond explaining anything to a 3-year old. There must be immediate consequences to hitting. This must start at home. If you are playing and he hits you, play must stop immediately. Not forever. 5 or 10 minutes is a lifetime to a 3-year old. Then play again. Don't consider this normal behaviour. Consider this step one in becoming a juvenile deliquent-someone who bullies kids. Don't tolerate this behaviour and don't hit him to show him that hitting is wrong. You likely don't have an idiot on your hands.

First of all a 3yr old just flat out hitting is not normal. Hitting not beating your child is normal if you don't like to do that take away TV time, treats,those sort of things so that he learns at an early age there are cosiquences for his actions and reward him for good behavior.

at that age i'd nearly consider it normal. he wants to assert himself, and doesn't quite know how to, and at that age he also wouldn't be quite aware yet that hitting other kids hurts them as much as being hit by them hurts him. explain to him that when he keeps hitting kids they won't want to be friends with him anymore, and that it hurts them. maybe give him a tiny litle slap on the hand to demonstrate, just so it tinges him but doesn't really hurt. also explain to him that when someone doesn't agree with him he can argue his case verbally, or even give in sometimes. show him how. good luck! :-)

I would sit down and talk to him and tell him that's not nice.Also you should try to punish him by taking his toys away or something that he really likes.Don't get me wrong all kids hit eachother but not constantly try to be patient and try to explain ur point across him.

They invented foster care to get your children out of the house for a while while you are recovering from him hitting you.
