XP NWM related terrible three's? I'm at a loss!

I know this is tttcas related but please help. I don't know what to do next. My 3 almost four year old started a new day care about a month ago. Since then he has been on and off been having behavioral issues that he had not previously having. Today he was head butting other children and telling them he was going to slit their throats. Language that I have never heard at home.

Several months back his dad introduced hum to hunting. After that for about a month he kept talking about shooting/killing the dog. I attributed that to his misunderstanding on the concept of hunting. But now I'm not so sure.

His dad and I seperated shortly after his first birthday. We moved about a year ago. He started this day care about a month ago. There have been a lot of changes in his life over the last couple years. I'm not sure we're this aggression is coming from. Or if I should so something more about it. :-S

    Thank you ladies. I was thinking that seeing someone might help him. Especially if he's just having a difficult time adjusting. But his dad thinks that's a little rediculous since he's only almost 4. I appreciate your insight.

    Good mental health begins at birth. There are therapists who even specialize in infant mental health (and a lot of research to back up the importance of mental health care at *every* age). Zero to Three is a national organization that I work with (I'm in maternal-child social services) and they have a lot of great information on the topic (though their audience is more practitioners than parents...) https://www.zerotothree.org/child-development/early-childhood-mental-health/ .

    Find a therapist who specializes in early childhood and have him see her. He's got a lot going on in his life right now and could probably use a little help. 

    GL!
