You're off to a good start by pointing out this website to your parents. Get them a user ID and encourage them to use it. Hopefully they wll spend some time surfing and maybe asking some questions It's one thing to have your child tell you, but it is another thing to have them learn it themselves. The downsides are: 1) the large amount and "catfighting" that goes on here; and 2) They will learn some of the many downsides to professional aviation and may not encourage or support your goals. But they (and you) need to know about them.

I believe the Airline Pilot's Association has a nice pamplet on their website, but it may be a little dated.
