How do you age your characters?

Hi Folks

This is my 1st novel and I've set up a blog page 'http://
theultimateprice.blogspot.com' and my question which is simply, its
the answer / solution I'm struggling with....I'm trying to age my 2
main characters from children to late teens in one chapter and
struggling....My idea was to flashback to significant events in the
tiemline but I'm not sure that works. Does anyone have experience
where this was done succcessfully as I'm the first to admit it, my
chapter 14 just isn't happening!


Hope someone out there can help?
