How can I fix my child lock VW Golf?

Iv owned my (Betsy)VW 2002 Golf GTTDI 150hp since she was new. I have always had the child locks on because of children, now girls are bigger it would be easier if they were off. So I have flicked the child lock switch on both doors. This has made no difference to it. So it's a little shameful letting girls out when I drop them at collage. I can get into the vehicle any help appreciated
