In children who are fussy eaters but with no major medical history, is child-focused individual operant conditioning intervention more effective than child-focused group systematic desensitisation intervention at improving dietary variety and nutrition, and decreasing maladaptive mealtime behaviours and parental stress?

•Children with a history of ongoing fussy eating (persisting for a period of 6 months or longer) but who have never been hospitalized for a primary medical condition (e.g gastroesophageal reflux), or who have never received a medical diagnosis with significant intellectual or developmental implications (e.g. Down Syndrome).
•Fussy eating includes:
•* Limited dietary variety across the food groups
•(diet currently includes less than 10 foods which are predominantly carbohydrates, 10 foods which are predominantly proteins, and 10 fruits/vegetables)
•* Limited range of textures consumed (don't eat an age-appropriate range of textures; limit diet to 1 or 2 food textures; consume predominantly 'easy to eat' junk foods)
•* Mealtimes are taking longer than 30 minutes
•* There are problematic behaviours at mealtimes which are contributing to parental stress

•Children who are medically unstable: acutely unwell children who may experience a deterioration in health
•Children with documented aspiration on any solid food textures (children on modified liquids will be accepted)
•Children with severe malnutrition, whose primary goal of nutrition could only be achieved by supplementary tube feeding
•Children with gut disorders which are not well controlled or understood (e.g. dumping syndrome)
•Children with an allergy or current intolerance to more than 2 types of foods
•Children whose primary health carer has a known/declared mental health condition
•Children whose primary language is that other than English, or children identified as being from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background
