My four year old foster daughter had the same issue. What emotions she did show were obviously fake. She rarely cried unless she was mad at us and then she would sit in her room and scream at the top of her lungs. We took her to a therapist that specialized in reactive attachment disorder. The therapist gave us numerous techniques to use at home. It has really made a difference for this child. We started seeing the therapist once a week, then twice a week and were discharged last month because she was doing so well.

At four I don't think they really understand they are seeing a therapist because they have a 'problem'. This child needs help. It is worth a try...
