Youtube from iPad on Vizio Smart TV

I recently picked up a Vizio smart TV for the kids room. One thing that happened that I didn't anticipate is that the Youtube app on my kid's iPad recognized the TV. With a simple click on the iPad the TV will flip to Youtube and start playing whatever Youtube video is on the iPad. How can I prevent this other than removing the TV from the wifi?

create a wireless network other than your main network SSID name.
then connect the TV to the "guest" wifi.

this way TV is still connected but wont connect to youtube's "cast" feature.

or if there's a way to uninstall the youtube app on the tv, that will work too.
