I generally just skirt around the issue altogether.
"Oh, Franz is in his mid-40s".
or "Yeah, he was alive then."
By not trying to say a character's age in absolutes, the issue doesn't impact timelines. But then, what happens if a character needs to grow up or age increase? That's up to the RPer and the people they RP with. Everyone goes at their own pace.
