Lincoln,
Who makes the router?  I know my 5 year old Linksys has a check a box 
that will allow someone from the outside to configure the router.  Walk 
your folks through checking this box.  While there in there get the 
status of the router and get its IP.  Then you log into the router, set 
it to forward port 22 to your parents computers and ssh in.
