How to Be Kind at Home

Say hello when you come home

Welcome others when they come home

Keep the peace

Close cupboard doors after you open them

Put chairs back under tables after sitting on them

Share produce, like putting a box of lemons out on the nature strip

Offer visitors something to eat or drink

Welcome people to stay

Knock before going into people’s personal spaces

Go to where people are to speak to them, instead of calling out and making them come to you

Clean up after yourself

Move around quietly if you are up early and others are asleep

Move around quietly if you are up late and others are asleep

Let people have their personal space

Change the toilet roll if it gets finished, and make it so the paper comes over the top of the roll, not underneath

Show enjoyment of food people cook and share with you

Recycle

Make meals for others

Help with chores

Do someone else’s chore for them

Lighten loads

Make the bed

Put flowers inside

Make things right before you sleep
