Do you not know the definition of grooming?? lol
I find it insulting when people say shit like this, not gonna lie.
Grooming is when a person engages in predatory conduct to prepare a child or young person for sexual activity at a later time. Grooming can include communicating and/or attempting to befriend or establish a relationship or other emotional connection with the child or their parent/carer. according to google ^_^ its not that hard to google sometimes yk(づ￣ ³￣)づ
sorry guys but English isn't my first language, but still, grooming as you guys said is building an emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate them into their liking, by saying things like you shouldn't wear that, you shouldn't do that, you manipulate that person to fit what you like, in this case since he isn't his child he is being groomed as he grows up even if it's not meant in a bad way.

Here's the link of the article https://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/teachers/health/childprotection/Pages/expolitationgrooming.aspx
I suggest that you read it, this will help you broaden your understanding.
If you have the intention to do the sexual stuff to the kids early on, and wait till the kids, grow out, yes that's grooming. But in this case, No. Koushiro is already 18 in the chapter. He's not a kid. Please don't use the term carelessly because it can change drastically on the image of someone.
idk I don't like the stories that are, child grows up and ends up with their guardian, it just screams grooming.
