press
there are many ways to accomplish what I think you are looking for:
push, prod, press, press upon, stay on top of, gently prod, impose upon, challenge, urge, confront (not too polit.corrct.), actively encourage, intervene upon (I think I made that one up), help along, put a fire under ...
okay, I don't have my thesaurus - I'll be back if I think of any more - there are millions.
Personally, I like 'press,' 'stay on top of,' and 'gently prod.'
