We've figured out (several times!) that ToddlerManatee is freakishly sensitive to our moods (even if we aren't acting much differently than usual) and that's when some of her more challenging toddler behaviors really start to ramp up. We did something similar to the "family reset" last night because we were all in a spiral of unhappiness together and it worked really well. I don't know how much she understood, but we did explain to her that we were all going to take some deep breaths and give ourselves and each other a break.
