Do you think it is good or bad for kids to train in multiple martial arts?

My son has done alot of martial arts already. He is only 8 but started at 5 and really took to it. His main style has been Jujitsu. He really has good technique despite only being 8. But he has also done Judo and Kickboxing (easy class just for fun). I’m also thinking of adding in some high school style wrestling. He doesn’t do these activities constantly but sort of rotates them around through the year along with flag football and baseball. When baseball is up he does martial arts maybe 2 times a week same thing for flag football. When no other sport then maybe martial arts 5 times a week. So is it good for kids to train in many different martial arts at the same time? While I don’t want him overloaded I like how he is being well rounded and he seems to enjoy it.
