What's a good amount of juggles, touches with feet without the ball touching the ground for U8? And how important of a skill would you place juggling at this age compared to other drills/skills?

My son either plays a bit timid or very aggressively to the point of driving through the ball on tackles, knocking players down. It got me concerned that either he or someone else may get hurt. But I then worry I may take the aggressiveness out of him if I tell him to find the middle area. During a recent game he made a legal tackle but the kid he tackled got hurt. His coach gave him a high five and I thought ok maybe it's good for him to be playing this level of aggression at this age if the club level coach encouraged it? He doesn't slide tackle, just goes in extremely tough.

Am I overly concerned and just let him keep being overly aggressive or not concerned enough?
