Tina Knowles has revealed she made Beyonce and Solange attend counselling when they were kids. The matriarch, 64, said she wanted to be sensitive to the fact Solange, 31, was growing up in 36-year-old Beyonce's shadow as her fame skyrocketed from such a young age. Speaking to Maria Shriver, Tina explained that she wanted them to get professional help to deal with any issues that could arise early on.
She shared: "I was very sensitive to that [favouritism] because I grew up where I felt like my mother liked my brother more and she loved him more so I was very sensitive to it.
"So I had days that I devoted to Solange..." She went on: "It was tough, she was five years younger than Beyonce and Beyonce was the little superstar in our city.
"So I took them to counselling so that the counselor could help Beyonce be more sensitive to Solange because she couldn't stand her for a minute when they were little... But it made her [Beyonce] more sensitive to who her sister was and what she [Solange] had to deal with because of her."
Tina added that no one else in the family was keen on the idea because they thought the girls were too young.
"But I wanted Beyonce to be sensitive to the fact that Solange had to deal with the fact of being a little bit in her shadow, and it made her way more sensitive and protective," she went on.
"And they're still fiercely protective of each other," she said.
