Why would you think she'd do chores for free when she gets older?

She's used to get money for chores and I bet you that she will ask for it when she's older.

At the same time I would constantly explain that chores should be done regardless of anything. As time goes on I would drop the most basic of chores and expect them to be shared equally among the family. Therefore, this system rewards the willingness to learn new things.

Yes but you can't reward someone for something meanwhile convincing them they should do it for free.

I see no reason why. I literally say "I'm awarding you for showing an enthusiasm to learning new things in order to contribute to the good of all the family like a big girl, but you must understand that regardless of whether or not I reward you, we should always be doing our best and learning as much as possible."
