I would suggest having an honest conversation with the person about it. I used to be all about just ignoring the person, but part of being an adult is having open and honest conversations!!
It comes with time. I grew up and was promoted twice on my team and now I’m a VP having responsibilities where I need people who used to manage me to do things. It was a long process, but I am in a good place now. There is still issues with one person which I have flagged to my manager and turns out that person has treated several ppl on my team like that
Carry yourself with maturity and confidence. Good posture, no excess mannerisms that age you, speak with clarity and sureness, no stumbling. Be prepared for any possible questions.
A well placed joke or witty remark can deflect patronizing behavior and show you're not threatened by their attempts to belittle you. Just remember to keep it respectful and avoid sarcasm. You don't wanna come across as sassy, just savvy.
