The Government's released a new child and youth strategy, with a focus on supporting children and their families in the first 2000 days.
It aims to lift 17,000 children out of material hardship by 2027.
2000 days is just over five years.
Child Poverty Reduction Minister Louise Upston told Mike Hosking the Government needs to focus its efforts – if they attempt too many things, they won't achieve anything.
She says this is a plan to work across government ministers' departments to get things done.
