Unwavering Respect

Public praise builds his confidence, as your opinion matters more to him than anyone else's.

Talking over him makes him feel profoundly disrespected and signals that you think he is incapable.

If he says he can fix something, let him try without immediately suggesting you call a professional.

Men often respond with anger when they feel disrespected, so use this as a cue to evaluate your own actions.

Speaking highly of him and having faith in his character can transform his sense of self worth.

Mocking him, especially in front of family or friends, is deeply shaming and damages his trust in you.
