Anyone have an extra-sensitive kid?

Both teachers for DD (Kindergarten and after school daycare) have commented that she is extra-sensitive when they re-direct her or she does something wrong with her schoolwork.  She gets really sad, lip quivers, seems on the verge of tears.  She's a pretty happy go lucky kid in general, but she does have quite a dramatic side - always has.  I know that the teachers aren't being "mean" when they do this, and DD loves her teachers. She also is this way at home with us when we do the same.

I'm glad that she is sensitive in a way, because I think that will serve her well in the future. But for now, I wish I knew how to thicken her skin just a little bit and help her understand that it's okay to make mistakes or get re-directed, etc.  Anyone else deal with a similiar situation? Any advice? TIA!
