This is driving me crazy. The smart lock door will always open if the handle is tilted from the inside of the house. It only locks for people coming from outside the house.
Our 1 year old keeps opening the door from the inside and leaving the house if we’re not attentive.
For reference this is our smart lock

This is how ALL door handles with locks are required to work now.
At some point building codes made it so residential door handles must open from the inside. This is to ensure if you are trying to get out you don’t have to find a key or fumble for the lock during a stressful and dangerous situation.
You could add a deadbolt and use that to keep the door closed. Or add a hotel lock or something similar higher up and out of your kid’s reach.
You could also set it up so when the door is opened you get a notification on your devices. Set up an announcement across any speakers.
