“Why is my child aggressive?”
My 8-year-old son is very aggressive. Is this normal for his age? Should I take him to a doctor?

8 years old should not be aggressive. He needs to be seen by his doctor and he needs counseling as well.
It is normal. See your pediatrician to rule out underlying conditions for this behaviour.
Is he threatening anyone? Is he playing "war" or "aggressive" games? Usually by 8 years old, they have learned to get along with others. He may need therapy or further work-up.
