Speech and language advice

My son, will be 2 next month and he has really limited speech. No mama, no joining words etc and I am worried.
So I reached out to my HV to get him referred she did this, and speech & language got in touch and sent me video strategies to watch to implement to help with his speech. I also sent them to my husband and told him to watch them. It's been almost 2 months and he hasn't watched them, and that's with me constantly at him to watch them. My husband is more than happy to put something on his phone or the TV for my son to watch.

Anyone any ideas about how I reapproach this with him because right now I feel like he couldn't care less.

Speech and language therapy is most effective when all the primary care gives are engaged. Has your DH said why he doesn't care about your little one's progress?

No, he hasn't said anything. I just keep saying have you watched those videos and he says no.
I find it really frustrating. I want my son to do his best, and thst comes from us. I'm trying to do the strategies and he's doing complete opposite, how he is supposed to learn when there is no consistency.

That is maddening. No advice really, but you have my sympathies and I hope your son starts talking soon despite your partner's total apathy to his progress.
