Please explain what "unconditional love" is. It is a buzz term everywhere, but how does it work and help? Does it not take the child's needs or circumstances into account? Is there not pity or wise guidance? What is "agape"? What conditions are undone by it? Excuse my ignorance.

A quick Google search defines the 'agape' referred to in this article as:

"...the fatherly love of God for humans, as well as the human reciprocal love for God."

In short, it's spiritual.

Agape is a different form of love than one that is romantic or friendly. It's love sprung from a foundational hope for the best of humanity, including the individual. No conditions are undone by it--apart from perhaps nihilism found within you/the "lover."
