Well, a potential problem I see already is the desktop being covered by all the tiled windows that they'd want to open. One window open, desktop is gone. I suppose you could do floating mode by default, but that would somewhat defeat the purpose of using dwm... If you're really dead-set on doing it though, idesk would more than likely work. I hope your parents are good with computers though! :-D
