Since the child is not responding to your prompts or guidance, it is recommended that you meet a professional and discuss in detail about the onset, recent changes in environmental triggers, precipitation, causes etc of this issue. I specialize working with kids & teens and use plenty of modalities for kids to open up discuss their emotions, thoughts, feelings etc.
I have scheduled the group mindfulness workshop for kids in the age group 4 to 8 yrs on 16th& 17th OCT,2021. I would suggest you to make him join this workshop apart from taking individual therapy for the kid along few mindful Parenting sessions to change your approach as a parent to the sudden change in the behavior of the child. I conduct all these Therapies shared above. You may book an online or an offline appointment with me.

Yes for a parent to see their dear child behaving rudely can be tough but understand now the child is growing he is learning few things from the environment they have their own way if adapting a situation.he sometimes will project behaviors as in his family and immediate friend circle.so we have to check how we react among us ,they will do what they see not what they are told.
Firstly he is young and probably with time he will behave appropriately once he is checked by his loved ones respectfully.
Secondly a child learns a lot from school but as nowadays children are at home they have limited interaction and learn probably this will be fine once the school reopens.
Most importantly don't always scold him for small acts tell him calmly and when he is alone,the child should not feel he is being tagged as naughty so no point improving encourage him positively.
Try positive reinforcement.above all stay calm if you feel you is not able handle his behavior consult a professional.

You no need to worry about your son. Due to this covid situation every child even adults are behaving like this way. Now they are not contact with society, they may be missing their friends. This wll make them loneliness. So parents need to spend time with your child. If it's not happening then the child prefer to watching TV, computer etc.
Next Steps
introduce some extracurricular activities to your child. Try to engage them, but don't force them.

Hi... Please don't worry about him. These are very normal phases of growing up. In childhood the change is more overt and as parents we are also very observant about each and every change our kids go through. So first of all just calm down about this change in him.
Lots of kids these days (pandemic/lockdown/online classes) are finding it difficult to manage their routine and channelize their energy. Like ourselves they also get frustrated and that frustration may come out in the form of anger, tantrums, or disobedience.
Next Steps
Seek professional help
