A person's difficulty is often a lack of a specific skill.
It is not a problem with the person's identity. Focusing on the skill makes the problem solvable.
Focus on the specific skill that is missing. Do not say the person has a general problem. This way, the problem seems easier to fix. The person will not feel ashamed.
