I love this article. I've been trying lately to let love (rather than anger) be my motivation for disciplining my kids. They are much more receptive when I'm calm and my love is evident. When I act in this way, I find I'm more focused on their heart being in the right place than their behavior being perfect. Bring a loving parent is not the same as being a permissive parent.

how you chose to raise your children has an effect on all around you and your kids.
It is very disconcerting when the loving parents let their little kids cause massive disruptions during services.
Your responsibility when they first open their mouths is to remove them on the spot and not return them until they are quiet.
Your kid screaming in public may be cute to you but it is not to others.
Your job is teaching your kids proper behavior in public not letting the behave like little spoiled animals

The article leaves one with the idea that loving is only expressed in a somewhat indulgent way, and making demands and firmness of discipline e not loving. Do you want to do a bit more clarification. Shades of Dr. Spock.
