孩子和父母

Text

Note: The text is pasted here in case you want to copy/paste one of the words into a dictionary app, but the above video and zip file download are best inputting the content as they have audio and text-tracking.

孩子需要关心也需要空间。虽然每个父母对孩子的爱都很深，但是如果这份爱太过分，那么可能会伤害孩子。在孩子6岁以前，父母可以一直陪着他们，让孩子觉得自己是被爱的；但是孩子慢慢长大以后，父母应该试着让孩子自己去成长。比如，一看到小孩子拿刀子，父母就很担心，担心他们不小心切到自己。然后不让他们拿。小孩子可能会因此觉得自己不够好。所以父母应该让孩子在自己的保护下去做自己想做的事。

Hi guys, could you go over the phrase 这份爱太过分 a little? I get the general meaning, but it looks like 份 is being used as some kind of a measure word for 爱, but I'm not sure, and I seem to have missed a beat in understanding 太过分, which I think is "too much." Since 份 and 分 seem to be variants of each other, working out this relationship would be helpful. Sorry if I am being obtuse.
