Password Protect Apple TV?

We have a 9 year old that's discovered Youtube.com on our new Apple TV - Is there anyway to password protect an Apple TV? Either portions of it (primarily youtube.com obviously) or the entire thing?

You cannot set a password on the Apple TV; content synced to it from an iTunes library can be set to require a password by requiring a password to access the Mac OS X user account which contains that iTunes library.

You tube can be turned on or off and the ability to turn it on can be controlled by parental settings, in other words a passcode.
