It sounds like your son might be experiencing some difficulties with motivation and focus. It's not uncommon for young children to go through phases of disinterest in activities, especially if they find them challenging or if they're feeling overwhelmed.
Firstly, it's important to approach the situation with empathy and understanding. Try to have open and non-judgmental conversations with your son about how he's feeling and what might be causing his disinterest in homework.
It's also important to establish a consistent and positive routine around homework time. Create a quiet, distraction-free environment where he can concentrate, and break down tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. Offer plenty of praise and encouragement for any effort he puts in, rather than focusing solely on the end result.
Consider exploring different learning methods or approaches that might better suit your son's individual needs and interests. Incorporating hands-on activities, games, or visual aids can make learning more engaging and enjoyable for young children.

It's completely understandable that you are trying to give your best. If you see a sudden change in his behavior, there must be some incident that would have caused it. For example : shaming kid infront of others, discouraging words etc which would have caused some emotional drain in him. There is nothing to worry , take a deep breath and think politely.
Even school or parents - work together and try to absorb him. He is very young , take things politely and try communicating with him. Make homework fun and don't stress him with what he doesn't do. Talk more about what he is good at.
Try cutting down screen time and alway keep a routine (homework time or study time) helps deal with situations like this. Take it smooth and believe in yourself that you can deal with him.
Next Steps
If you find it overwhelming and hard to handle- seeking help is the best thing to do
Consult child psychologist
Health Tips
1. Have a routine for everything ( time, place etc)
2. If he follow the routine give him a token of application ( which is a benefits that he can use it when he needed) when you do this always stick to your words.
3. Try communicating with him - Through stories ( during story time ) , Through play etc
4. Make sure you set boundaries and habbits that you follow as a family along with the kid.
Before all that stay relaxed, he is just 4 and his brain is trying to figure out things . Respect the situation he is in Aswell.
Parenting is wonderful, it give you opportunities to evolve differently. It help both mom and dad to unlearn and learn new things. Everything has a solution, stay positive.

It's crucial to approach this situation with patience and understanding. Establishing a consistent routine and a conducive learning environment could help create a positive space for him. Breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps and offering positive reinforcement for even small accomplishments might motivate him. Making learning enjoyable through games and creative activities could capture his interest. Communicating with his teacher to align strategies between home and school is essential. Additionally, seeking professional guidance, perhaps from an educational or child psychologist, might offer insights and tailored approaches to address his specific needs.

You seem very distressed, which is a normal response in the situation you have been facing. Working with a child is a very tough job. A child throwing tantrums is a very normal developmental behavior but lack of interest in studies and difficulty in concentration can be due to underlying issues. Seeing it from the child's point of view, when he is not able to concentrate and repeatedly gets scolded over it must be hard for him too.
I suggest you to work with your child and seek out a therapist who can help you and your child to overcome this hurdle.
Hope things get better soon.
