Overview

• Tina Knowles revealed she sent Beyoncé and Solange to therapy as children to address growing tensions and ensure a close sibling relationship.
• The decision came after Beyoncé, then 10 or 11, began allowing peers in her singing group to exclude and dismiss Solange at home.
• At the time, therapy was considered taboo, particularly in the Black community, and Knowles faced resistance from her then-husband, Matthew Knowles, and other family members.
• Despite Beyoncé initially disliking therapy and Solange embracing it, Knowles noted the sessions had a lasting positive impact, strengthening their bond.
• Knowles's proactive parenting approach, discussed in her memoir 'Matriarch,' highlights the importance of addressing sibling dynamics early and challenging cultural stigmas around mental health.
