"Good with" OR "Good at"

[Tom]

Hello everybody

I want to know which one of these sentences is correct?

1- " In my presence, he is not good with words."
2- " In my presence, he is not good at words."

Thanks in advance

Hi Tom

I would prefer to use "good at" with a verb or activity:
He's not good at expressing himself.
He's not good at putting his thoughts into words.
He's not good at tennis.

I'd prefer "good with" used with a noun:
He's not good with children.
He's not good with animals.

But, saying "He's not good with words" sounds awkward to me.
