Tina Knowles is opening up about Solange and Beyonce’s childhood while recalling how a little therapy early on helped grow their sisterly bond!

While appearing in a new interview on the Oprah Podcast, Ms Tina shared when her daughters were young children she decided to place them in therapy. She explained that she noticed Solange and Beyonce were different from one another.

“I was terrified when Beyonce turned around 10. She might have been 10 or 11, and she was in the singing group. And the kids would say to Solange every day, ‘Be quiet, Solange,’ because she would try to choreograph and, you know, she wanted to be involved. She bossed it, too. And they didn’t want her involved.”

Ms.Tina recalled “And then I started noticing that Beyonce would allow them to talk to her like that or she would say, ‘OK, Mom, can you get Solange out of here? Because she is’ — and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, this is her house, and you’ve got to be nice to her.’ And I told her all the things, you know, how important it was for her,”

“But finally, I realized that they weren’t listening, and I saw a wall between them coming, and so I got them in therapy.”

Tina shares her initial thoughts that the idea of therapy were taboo and that her husband Matthew Knowles felt that the girls were too young. However she determined to get help.

“And I’m like, ‘I’m not asking. I’m going to find somebody.’ And I found this wonderful therapist, child therapist,” she said. 

“And it’s funny because he told Beyoncé all the things I had told her, but she listened from him, even though she hated therapy. She hated going. Solange loved therapy. She loved talking and, you know, expressing herself.”

“And the outcome was great,” she added. “It was really great because they had been super tight since.”
