plz help........

hi there.
i m so tensed abt my almost three years old son. he just behave strange when he meets other children. my son is loving senstive boy. recently we have changed country. so he is in total new enviroment. i cant understand why he slaps or push other children. i have tried talking to him abt this at that time he feels sorry and says he won't do it again. but he repeats. sometimes i feel he is insecure abt something. i don't know what to do and how to react. otherwise he is playful and he listens  also.

plz help me and suggest me different ways to tackle the situations.
thanks a lot.

You dont tell us what country you are from but I will assume you are in the US now, I am wondering if it is his way of getting attention from the other children, does he speak some English?  It is a rather difficult transision for children to come to another country, children do learn languages very quickly once he is able to communicate better I think it will change so be patient , you may have to be firm and do time outs for the hitting of other children, do the timeouts as this will be understood more than just talking. Good luck in your new country..
