First off, generally a discussion is started by you posting an article and then posting an opinion.
With that said, I think it is important that parents provide both things to their kids at appropriate times. Affection and touching is good in some circumstances while letting them cry is good in others.
Example: If my child hurts himself, then affection and touching is a good thing to provide comfort. However if my child is throwing a fit because he doesn't get what he wants, he can take his happy butt to his room and cry away.
