I mean no-one who was cursed aged and I know Henry wasn't cursed and was born in the LWM, but Ingrid wasn't cursed either and she didn't age. I know Ingrid stated "Time works different here" but that really doesn't answer the question. Who's to say Ingrid didn't age? She was already an adult when she came to LWM, so Elizabeth can play her at different ages while looking the same. Just like Lana played like 18 year old Regina, and still plays present day Regina.

If that's the case I find it weird how the writers decided to put emphasis on the fact that time stands still in Storybrooke. Guess it's just one of those things we'll never get an explanation for.

Although I will admit your explanation is quite valid.
