| Jul 1, 2019 at 14:22 | comment | added | Suresh Karia | you are asking this question clearly shows that you care about the nature and that is good thing! Few pebbles is fine, also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_skipping is always fun! | |

Moving rocks, even little ones, in, out or around their natural habitat is dangerous for eco-systems. In some USA National Parks, including Great Smoky Mountains National Park, it's even illegal to move rocks. Getting your son excited about the environment can never start too young. You guys can have a great time doing it together and he might grow up to make a huge difference in the world! | |

You can let him keep throwing pebbles in the stream (fun!) while explaining what not to do (throw rocks off cliffs, move very large rocks, take rocks home). It's the same tension between use and preservation that we all face in the outdoors--what a wonderful and easy way to introduce him. | |

| Jun 28, 2019 at 13:52 | comment | added | Jon Custer | Certainly one should not let anyone throw stones off cliff edges, or anywhere else that there might be somebody below and out of sight! | |
