Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

When Frozen Crystal the forever young was first born, her mother said that she wanted at least one of her children to stay little. Therefore, when Frozen Crystal grew her wings, her mother put the spell on her to stop her from growing up. That way Frozen Crystal the forever young will stay a youngling forever.
