Display post from child category

I have the following code:

    <div id="content">
    <?php 
    $args = array(
        'orderby' => 'id',
        'hide_empty'=> 0,
        'child_of' => 10, //Child From Boxes Category 
    );
    $categories = get_categories($args);
    foreach ($categories as $cat) {
        echo '<div class="one_fourth">';
        echo '<h1 class="valignmiddle uppercase title-bold">'.$cat->name.'<img src="'.$cat->term_icon.'" alt=""  class="alignleft"/>'.'<br />'.'<span class="solutions">'.$cat->description.'</span>'.'</h1>';
        echo '<br />';
        echo '<span>';
        //How do I get these child post titles here 
        echo '</span>';
        echo '</div>';
    }
    ?>
    <div class="clear"></div>

    <hr />
    <div class="clear"></div>
</div><!-- #content -->

I'm using it to get categories from parent Boxes category and display Name and Icon from child categories. How to display posts titles from child categories?

so within your foreach loop you can do a separate query to get all the posts by current category ID

$args= array("category" => $cat->cat_ID);
$posts_in_category = get_posts($args);

and then loop through these results to output each post's title by accessing the title member variable

foreach($posts_in_category as $current_post) {
    echo $current_post->title;
}

You can use get_posts for that passing $cat->term_id as the category to query. I'd create a function in functions.php:

function the_posts_titles_so_18682717( $cat_id )
{
    $args = array(
        'posts_per_page'   => -1,
        'category'         => $cat_id,
        'orderby'          => 'post_date',
        'order'            => 'DESC',
        'post_type'        => 'post',
        'post_status'      => 'publish',
    );
    $the_posts = get_posts( $args );
    if( $the_posts )
    {
        foreach( $the_posts as $post )
        {
            printf(
                '<h4><a href="%s">%s</a>',
                get_permalink( $post->ID ),
                $post->post_title
            );
        }
    }
}

And call it in the point of the template you need the child titles:

echo '<span>';
//How do I get these child post titles here 
the_posts_titles_so_18682717( $cat->term_id );
echo '</span>';
