Head injuries/head guards

Looking for some advice on head injuries for goalkeepers, my son is 8 years old and seems to attract a ball to the face/forehead far to often for my liking, recently hit from close range to side of jaw with instant pain and spasm of jaw muscles, woke up with vomiting and diagnosed concussion, obviously rest from football currently but he does want to continue as a goalkeeper, I guess my main 2 questions are any recommended head guards and is there anything fundamentally he could be doing wrong to have this happening.
