See Kids Gloves Meaning
To handle or treat something with kid gloves is to do so with special consideration or in a tactful manner, often due to a perceived sensitivity. Kid gloves are gloves made from kid leather, which is the skin from a young goat. The phrase "handle with kid gloves" is a metaphor for very gentle care, often to the point of coddling. It means to handle a situation, person, or object delicately and gingerly.
