Show subcategories only for selected category

I understand how work.php and single-work.php works, so I decided to do something different. I created some categories, under each category, there are sub-categories. I assigned work projects into these sub-categories. On work.php, I want to show the parent categories. When people click on it, they will see subcategories only for selected category. Then they click on subcategory, they will see a list of posts. I have got parent categories showing on work.php, code is below. But when I click on it, it is not showing sub-categories. How do I get this working?

<?php
$args = array(
    'child_of' => 31,
    'taxonomy' => 'kosher_category',
    'hide_empty' => 0,
    'hierarchical' => 1,
    'depth'  => 1,
    'parent' => 31
    );
$cats = get_categories( $args );
  foreach ($cats as $category) {
    $option = '<option value="/category/archives/'.$category->category_nicename.'">';
    $option .= $category->cat_name;
    $option .= '</option>';
    echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '">' .$option. '</a>';
  }

?>
