handle it/someone with kid gloves

handle with kid gloves
To treat something very delicately or carefully.
--The campaign staff cautioned the candidate to handle the issue with kid gloves.:inno:
 
We also say "με το γάντι" ή "με τα γάντια", with verbs like φέρομαι, or even έχω, like in this rembetiko of Chatzichristos:
Όπως σου φέρνομαι σπαθί
και σ’ έχω με το γάντι
αγάπα με όπως σ’ αγαπώ
και μη με λες μπερμπάντη,
