Unfortunately, there is no easy way of doing it.

The child lock feature that you can activate from the front does not include the 'door lock' feature, which I find bizarre. I can understand the need to stop kids playing with the other buttons and switches, but can't understand the logic of omitting that one, which I presume is there to enable any person in the back seat to lock all the doors in an emergency.

There is no way within the MMI or VCDS to disable the feature, which leaves only one option. That is to remove the door card and physically disconnect the switch.

Just on the topic of central locking, and not wanting to worry you, but are you aware of the issues of deadlocks in VAG cars? If you take the scenario you mentioned, once your daughter kicks the switch, all the doors are deadlocked, and the only way to unlock the car is either with another key (which not everyone has or you could be on holiday) from outside or by pressing the unlock button on the drivers door. That might be okay if the child is old enough to remove their belts and clamber into the drivers seat, but not for younger ones.

There is also no way of permanently disabling the deadlocks. You can disable the deadlocks when you lock the car, but that is only with the button on the door handle, and must be pressed twice in two seconds. You cannot do it with the remote, and I can't even think of a reason for doing this.
