Best Answer
If you want to strengthen the request,then encourage is a perfectly acceptable word.
While there appears to be a consensus that get your parents to is "correct", I cannot avoid the feeling that it is at least inelegant. Although you might say it in conversation, I would avoid the expression in writing.
