So, after rewatching I had a few questions.. Like is Malcolm cursed by the shadow?

Or is it that any adult without a child turns back to their youth? Because Malcolm told Rumple that the one thing holding him back was the reminder that he was a father. (He said something like, "you can't be a child if you are reminded you have one") Because everyone in their party has a child. If this were true then Wendy could have been any age when she came to Neverland. It could also be one of the many reasons Belle couldn't come.
