The child is presented using emotive language, reflective of the compassion and sympathy the speaker feels for his injured son: 'White blisters beaded on his tender skin'. The alliteration using the sound 'b' sounds suggests the swelling, painful injures, and the childs skin is 'tender' this contrats the strong descpriton of the nettles.
The 'watery grin' is anouther emotive description, implying the child is being helped to get over his painful experience by loving parents
