 * I have a some categories set up like so:
 * **Age**
    Child Teen Adult **Language** English Spanish French Where Age and Language
   are parent categories, and those following are child categories.
 * Relevant code below:
 *     ```
       $cat = (isset($_GET['cat'])) ? $_GET['cat'] : 0;
       $args = array(
                   'tax_query' => array(
                       array(
                           'taxonomy' => 'tribe_events_cat',
                           'field' => 'id',
                           'terms' => $cat,
                       ),
   
                   )
           );
           $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       ```
   
 * Right if I choose Child and Teen it will display all posts tagged with Child 
   OR Teen, which is desired. But if I also choose Spanish, it will display events
   tagged with Child OR Teen OR Spanish.
 * How can I fix my query so that if I choose Child and Spanish, it will pull posts
   tagged with Child AND Spanish instead of posts tagged with Child OR Spanish?
