Although it is very sad to see a little girl on the scale talking about how she wants to be just like her mom it is logical to the viewers that little girls should not be worried about stuff like that at such a young age. Viewers understand that little girls look up to their moms and their moms look up to the beauty standards society has set which is a never ending cycle.
