I'm afraid this would fall into waswas (compulsive thoughts) because your other acts of worship are not affected. Therefore, the jump to that conclusion doesn't seem to be in place. If he does not listen and you know he won't listen, then you can try different strategies: 1. Talking to somebody that he listens to, to advise him. 2. If that does not work, then you have done what you could. If you continue pressing him and pushing him, you actually might be leading him to that which is even worse. Therefore, do what is wise.
