trying to change your father is like him trying to change you when although it's even more awkward as he is older than you...
Also there's the fact that after 35(if he's older than that) our brains lose their ability to be changed and to learn something in a completely new manner.
If you make him proud in some way it will eventually make him feel good about himself, too and that will for sure motivate him to do anything - from building a tree house to just rearranging the garage for the sake of it.
