Each ladder has about 8 rungs and every time they do something helpful, over and above the usual daily stuff like setting the dinner table, they get a sticker to get them one rung up. When they get to the top they get some pocket money and they start new ladder.
I am sure some reading this are thinking we are unduly mean or harsh, but how they hell else are they going to learn about earning money?
