I know it's kind of hard to wrap your mind around, but we need to remember that part of the Curse is that they simply didn't remember the actual past; just vague recollections of things that didn't really occur. So, they wouldn't really recall that last year, Ava and Nicholas were 12 and Henry was 4, but now Ava and Nicholas are 12 and Henry is 5, for example. Yes, it's hard to understand since time never stops in this world (I'm sure more people other than me would be happy if we could stop time!), but since they don't remember about what happened yesterday, much less 28 years ago, they don't notice anyone aging or anything. I can imagine if the curse was never broken, then Henry would die eventually and nearly everyone in town would forget about him.
