My son (almost 4) is extremely sensitive, also extremely intelligent and I think the two often go together.
He can get scared of kids-tv, although he is much better now, we still have to fastforward a specific part of one of the Thomas movies, and there are other shows he won't watch.
With ds I notice that if he has not had as much sleep as usual he is much more liable for something like that to happen. I sent him to kindy one day after a night of less-than-grand sleep because he seemed great that morning and I had a meeting with his teacher after school (regretted taking him almost as soon as I had done it) and apparently he had a big meltdown because he lost his bandaid.
But when he is well-rested he is usually more robust and resilient than that.
This is the same child that I remember sitting on his potty at age 2 bursting into tears because a piece of music was "so beautiful". He still does that at times (cry over music, not sit on the potty haha).
They are still so so young too, y'know. I remember being in tears in grade 2 or 3 because some kid broke my favourite pencil, so unfortunately I suspect my son is not going to grow out of it anytime soon and that he probably gets it from me.
Also, if it were me I'd get your ds the blue t-shirt. He can still have his choice in the morning of blue or green or red and you can still have the conversations about how it doesn't matter. I agree with the teacher that it sounds smart to even be aware of that detail, and why have him worried if there is an easy solution to that one?
