The other question, is coach the right word in this case? Just asking?

It's supposed to be preventing him from being abandoned but it definitely backfires on him.
Yes, I think coach is the right word. When the kids complain to me (especially about his selfishness), I coach them on what to say to him to let him know that his actions are affecting them. Likewise, I coach him on what to say, especially to our teenage daughter, and how to act with her, reminding him that their relationship could likely define all of her future relationships with men.
