The matriarch, 64, said she wanted to be sensitive to the fact Solange, 31, was growing up in 36-year-old Beyonce's shadow as her fame skyrocketed from such a young age.
Speaking to Maria Shriver, Tina explained that she wanted them to get professional help to deal with any issues that could arise early on.
She shared: "I was very sensitive to that [favouritism] because I grew up where I felt like my mother liked my brother more and she loved him more so I was very sensitive to it.
"So I had days that I devoted to Solange..." She went on: "It was tough, she was five years younger than Beyonce and Beyonce was the little superstar in our city.
"So I took them to counselling so that the counselor could help Beyonce be more sensitive to Solange because she couldn't stand her for a minute when they were little... But it made her [Beyonce] more sensitive to who her sister was and what she [Solange] had to deal with because of her."
Tina added that no one else in the family was keen on the idea because they thought the girls were too young.
"But I wanted Beyonce to be sensitive to the fact that Solange had to deal with the fact of being a little bit in her shadow, and it made her way more sensitive and protective," she went on.
"And they're still fiercely protective of each other," she said.
