Get pocket money
The link between a chore done now and money that comes later is abstract, and waiting for the pocket money can feel impossibly long. The pictures below make the path from work to reward visible step by step.

About this visual support
I cleared the table yesterday, but the money comes on Friday: for a child that is a gap that is hard to grasp. The reward is not in the same moment as the work, and without something concrete to hold on to, both the motivation and the sense of why you help out can drain away.
Visual support can make the abstract link visible: a picture of the chore, an arrow, a picture of the coin or note, and ideally a simple row of boxes leading to payday. When the child sees the completed chores building toward a goal, the wait becomes measurable rather than vague, and the money feels like something earned step by step.
One concrete tip: put up a visible weekly row where each finished chore gets a mark, so Friday's pocket money becomes the end of something the child can follow all week. In Routined you can link pictures of chores to a reward and try the system for fourteen days at no cost.
