Naughty red and blue brain.

Hi,
My 4 year old has recently started some bad behaviour such as kicking, ignoring and laughing at discipline and spitting.
After the last spitting incident and sending him to his room I went up to have a chat with him.
I eventually got him to explain his actions and they were that his brain went red, and wasn’t blue.
He has mentioned this red/blue brain thing before when he has been naughty, and nursery inform us he has come up with this explanation on his own.
I am wondering if anyone else has had a child explain their feelings in this way?
Essentially when he is naughty he says his brain goes red and its not blue (when he is calm).

No but it's excellent that he's starting to verbalise his emotions. Take him to watch Inside Out explains emotions very similarly, except Joy is Yellow and Sadness is Blue!
