Salamu 'alaikum,
As sister Muslimah said prostration is a position when one is so close to Allah, that's why it is very preferable to ask Allah all your needs while prostrating, of course after praising Allah.
Brother Twister, I find your family very good at heart. May Allah open their hearts to Islam soon incha'Allah! Since your father tries to prostrate as well, tell him to ask Allah for guidance while prostrating.
May Allah strenghten our faith more and more!
Your sister in Islam Ahlam
