A lot of time passes in the books too, so it's fine for them to get older. The only tricky ones are Bran and Arya. Rickon could be played by anyone when he gets back from Skagos, nobody would know the difference. Probably why they don't feature him much right now.
It is interesting that the only Stark kids with no POV chapters are Robb and Rickon. I always assumed Robb was because he was a king, and none of the kings ever get POV chapters in the books. I wonder if that means Rickon is destined to be a king as well?
