Barbara:

Yes and yes.  My "children" are 25 and 27 and both they and the other
children that I have watched grow up with co-sleeping and attachment
parenting are definitely not aggressive, whatever other problems they may
have.  

I remember my son saying once, while he was in his teens that he thought
that the statements in the media about watching violence on TV breeding
violent teens wasn't true at all.  When I asked him why he said that he
thought that if children didn't experience violence in their lives, then
they knew that all the shoot-it-up macho on TV was make-believe.

I'm not sure whether his analysis was sufficiently "profound", but if you
consider the  anger many babies who have their needs denied constantly must
feel that perhaps babies who co-sleep and who are carried, nursed, etc.,
don't feel as often, perhaps there is something to that.
