Victor is providing scaffolding for his nephew by breaking down the task into smaller, more manageable steps and providing guidance and support as needed. This allows the nephew to work within his zone of proximal development (the range of tasks that are too difficult to complete alone but can be accomplished with support) and gradually improve his skills and knowledge.
