When Tina Knowles, 71, noticed a growing rift between her daughters, Beyoncé and Solange, she decided to walk.
In an interview with 'CBS morning'On Wednesday, Knowles shows the upbringing of her two daughters and the steps she has taken to strengthen their sister.
He told host Gayle King that he made an unpopular decision to bring both daughters to a counselor when they were children.
As Beyoncé's popularity in their hometown grew, the ever -changing -change between the sisters began to move, especially after Beyoncé joined a singing group, he said.
“Everything happened in our house, so the other girls in the group Solange would say to shut up and be quiet and all, and I began to notice that he wasn't protecting his brother,” Knowles said.
He didn't like what was happening, so he spoke to Beyoncé about it.
“I was like, 'That's your sister. You never let people talk to your brother.' He was like, “Yes, but he goes in, explodes, and he wants to boss us around and take steps, '” Knowles said, remembering the words of his eldest daughter.
“I just started to see it, you know, separation, and I said,” Oh no, you'll all grow up if I need to, you know, whatever I do to do that, “Knowles said.
He added that his family did not like the idea of bringing his daughters to therapy.
“My family is angry, and even Matthew is not happy. He's like, 'I don't want any part of it. Why do you want them to go?'” Knowles said, remembering his wife's words.
The couple was married in 1980 and welcomed Beyoncé in 1981 and Solange in 1986. After 30 years of marriage, they separated in 2011.
This is not the first time Knowles has spoken about bringing her daughters to therapy.
In a 2018 interview In the Maria Shriver, Knowles also spoke about what she hoped to achieve in early counseling.
“My family is like, 'You will make them mad because they are young to get them,'” Knowles told Shriver. “But I want Beyoncé to be sensitive to the fact that Solange has to deal with being a little in his shadow. And it has become more sensitive and protective. And they are still fiercely protected by each other.”
Knowles also added that she gave every daughter one-at-one time as they grew up.
“I have days I focus on them. On Wednesday, I left work and that was Solange's day,” Knowles said.
This is normal for most siblings to argue with each other, but there are many ways that parents can intervene to help their children.
Psychologists have previously told the business insider that it is important for parents to set clear expectations and give each child a single time with them, as Knowles did. This will help children feel that they always need to compete for their parents' attention.
In addition, if the conflict arises between the siblings, parents should allow each child to tell their side of the story, Tracy King, a clinical psychological, tells Bi.
“Use a 'externalizing' approach where you walked out of blame and speaking as if the conflict was in the room for everyone to solve the problem,” King said.
A representative for Knowles did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by BI out of regular time.
