Final Answer : E, Explanation :  One of the challenges in assessing and treating children is that they often lack the language skills or insight required to articulate their problems. Instead, children's problems are more typically reported by parents or teachers, which can make gathering accurate and complete information about the child's symptoms and experiences more difficult.
