How do I have the two-step authentication code only go to non-Apple phones? I don't want my kids Ipad to get the authentication code.

You can't specify. It goes to all trusted devices and telephone numbers set up for that Apple ID. However, if your kids are getting it then you have bigger worries. They should have their own IDs and not have access to your ID.

Various sections contain information that is useful in understanding about the trusted devices (an iPhone, iPad, or Mac that Apple knows is yours) system, and how to get a verification code on a trusted device or at a telephone number.
