Tina Knowles recently shared Beyoncé and Solange Knowles went to counseling as young girls in order to help them deal with Bey’s rising star power. “I had days that I devoted to each of them. On Wednesdays, I took off from work and that was Solange’s day. She was a lot younger than Beyoncé and it was tough because Beyoncé was five years older and Beyoncé was this little superstar in our city,” Knowles Lawson said. “I took them to counseling so that, very early, the counselor could help Beyoncé be more sensitive to Solange,” Knowles Lawson explained. “She couldn’t stand her for a minute. You know, they were little, Solange was all in her stuff, trying to hang around her and her friends and Beyoncé was really irritated but it made her more sensitive to who her sister was and what she had to deal with because of her.” “I just spent a lot of time teaching my girls not to be insecure just because there was another girl around because you are the most beautiful thing going. I think that’s really important.”
