Overview

• Tina Knowles arranged therapy for her daughters Beyoncé and Solange in the early 1990s after noticing growing tensions between them.
• The decision came when Beyoncé, at around age 10, began gaining local fame with her singing group Girls Tyme, leaving Solange feeling excluded.
• Despite resistance from her then-husband and societal stigma around child therapy, Knowles pursued professional help to preserve their relationship.
• Beyoncé initially disliked the sessions, while Solange embraced them, but the therapy successfully reinforced their sisterly connection.
• Knowles highlights this intervention in her memoir as an example of proactive parenting and its lasting impact on her family’s dynamics.
