Ms. Tina Knowles opens up about her children, when they were children.

During a recent interview, Ms. Knowles was asked, “what are your favorite memories from when your daughters were young?” In which she replied, “Beyoncé, she was very shy and she got bullied a bit but the day that she stood up for someone — she didn’t stand up for herself she stood up for them,” Tina recalled. “I’m getting emotional talking about it. I was just, I couldn’t have been more proud of her.”

Knowles says of her youngest daughter, “Solange, was her signing a petition in school. She was only in like fifth grade and she was out getting petitions signed,” Knowles said. “So she’s always been an activist.”

When speaking on her bonus daughter, Kelly Rowland, Knowles expressed, “Kelly was always this kid that just tried to protect everybody,” Knowles continued. “I have a memory of her with her best friend Barbara and her being a mediator and just being this little peacemaker.”

She shared the video to her Instagram and captioned it, “each child is different! But all so special. I believe kids are born with their personalities. My three girls All handled things very differently,” the fashion designer wrote in the caption of the video. “Learn their personalities and respect the individuality. Never compare the negatives , always praise the positive differences and pay attention to the things that you can brag on about them. They love it and it encourages positive behavior .
