This week's new video, Märchen - Sagenhaft - Die Wichtelmänner, uses the prepositional phrase mit (etwas) umgehen:

Sie war keine Schneiderin,

She was not a seamstress,

konnte aber gut mit Nadel und Faden umgehen.

but could manage well with a needle and thread.

The word umgehen on its own usually means to avoid, to circumvent, or to get around something, but when you put it with an adjective and the preposition mit, its meaning is broadened to mean how something is handled, dealt with, or treated. Here are a couple more examples from Yabla videos:

Ich werde dir beibringen, wie du damit umgehen kannst.

I will teach you how you can deal with that.
