Did you know Tina Knowles sent Beyoncé and Solange to therapy? Here's what we know

Tina Knowles just spoke out on why she had daughters Beyoncé and Solange attend therapy when they were younger to work on increasing tensions between the sisters.
During her conversation with CNN, Knowles described how she saw a "wall between them coming" as their personalities and professional paths began to diverge, especially as Beyoncé's stardom with Destiny's Child took off.
"Beyoncé was in a singing group and sometimes let people talk down to Solange, who wanted to be included," Knowles revealed, describing the tension that developed as Solange felt pushed aside in her sister's shadow. To save their relationship, Knowles went for professional help despite resistance at first from her ex-husband, Matthew Knowles. Therapy sessions proved to be a breakthrough for the sisters.
Though Beyoncé "hated going," Solange "loved therapy and speaking out," Knowles remembered. The disciplined setting enabled them to speak their minds freely, eventually forging a stronger relationship. "The result was wonderful," Knowles stressed, referring to their tight-knit connection today. In addition to conflict resolution, Knowles emphasized fostering individuality in her children, including "bonus daughter" Kelly Rowland. She focused on getting to know each child's individual personality, rather than comparing them, and engaging in quality one-on-one time with them.
This helped develop Beyoncé's driven discipline, Solange's creative experimentation, and Rowland's resiliency. In her April 22-released memoir, Knowles fleshed out her parenting experience, describing her fight with breast cancer and what it took to bring up daughters who were going through international fame. She emphasized the benefits of intentional parenting and emotional truthfulness.
Knowles' announcement highlights the stress that exists for siblings of high-achieving parents and the need for early intervention. Her account also debunks stigmas surrounding therapy, especially within communities of color. "It wasn't easy, but it was necessary," she confirmed, remembering the choice that eventually drew her daughters nearer.
